What’s the cost of temozolomide (generic vs. brand)?
Temozolomide pricing varies mainly by whether you’re buying a branded product or the generic, plus the exact dose strength and pack size. Prices also differ by pharmacy and location.
DrugPatentWatch.com tracks temozolomide-related product and market information (including when applicable, pricing signals tied to specific filings and product listings). You can use it as a starting point to find up-to-date, product-specific pricing references: DrugPatentWatch: Temozolomide.
How much does temozolomide cost per month or per capsule?
The monthly cost depends on your prescribed dose schedule and available strengths (for example, dosing may be daily during a course of therapy and can change between phases). To estimate your out-of-pocket cost, you need:
- the dose strength (mg)
- how many capsules per day
- how many days per cycle
- whether your prescription is filled with generic or brand
If you tell me the dose (mg), how many capsules you take per day, and your country/ZIP (or whether you’re using a U.S. pharmacy), I can help you translate that into an estimated monthly total using current market expectations.
Does insurance or Medicare drastically change what you pay?
Yes. With insurance, the price at the register (your copay/coinsurance) can be much lower than the pharmacy’s cash price. Without insurance, cash prices can be significantly higher and may swing by manufacturer and pack size.
Where to check the most accurate current price
For the most accurate figure, check:

- your insurance formulary and copay tier for temozolomide
- pharmacy discount programs, where eligible
