How much does Narcan cost?
Narcan (naloxone) pricing depends on the form you buy and whether you’re paying cash or using insurance. Common options include nasal spray (Narcan/Narcan 4 mg) and injectable naloxone, and prices can vary by pharmacy and region.
What is the out-of-pocket price (cash) for Narcan nasal spray?
Cash prices for Narcan nasal spray typically range widely by pharmacy due to brand pricing and local markups. If you want an exact number, you’ll usually need the specific product strength (commonly 4 mg nasal spray), the pack size, and your ZIP code.
Is Narcan free or discounted?
Some programs and pharmacies offer free naloxone or discounts, especially for opioid overdose prevention initiatives. Eligibility can depend on where you live and the dispensing pharmacy.
Do insurance and Medicare change the price?
Yes. With coverage, your out-of-pocket cost may be a copay or coinsurance instead of the full cash price. Your cost also depends on:
- Whether your plan covers Narcan
- Whether it’s filled at an in-network pharmacy
- Whether you use Medicare Part D or another plan
Where can you check the current price quickly?
A fast way to check current pricing is through your pharmacy’s online system (or a phone call), since Narcan’s list price and pharmacy discounts can shift.
