Typical Crestor Prices Without Discounts
Crestor (rosuvastatin), a statin for cholesterol, costs $200–$400 for a 30-day supply of 20mg tablets at retail pharmacies without insurance. Generic rosuvastatin drops this to $10–$50 for the same quantity.[1]
Savings with Discount Cards or Coupons
Discount programs like GoodRx, SingleCare, or RxSaver cut generic prices to $3–$12 per month (70–95% off cash price). Brand-name Crestor savings reach $100–$250 off, often $50–$150 total cost. Savings vary by pharmacy (Walgreens, CVS, Walmart) and location—check apps for real-time quotes.[1][2]
How to Get the Best Deal
Download free cards from GoodRx or SingleCare apps; no sign-up needed. Pharmacy-specific coupons (e.g., Walmart $4 generic list) or manufacturer copay cards add 20–50% more savings for eligible patients. Compare multiple sources: a 20mg generic might be $4 at Costco vs. $9 at CVS.[2][3]
Factors Affecting Your Savings
Location, dosage (5mg–40mg), and quantity (30–90 days) change prices—90-day supplies save 10–20% more. Brand vs. generic: generics offer deeper cuts (up to 98% off). No insurance? Discounts beat cash pay. Medicare patients may see less due to plan rules.[1]
Crestor Patent Status and Generic Impact
Crestor's main patents expired in 2016, enabling widespread generics and maximum discounts. No active exclusivities block competition—check DrugPatentWatch.com for updates on any minor formulation patents.4
