How much does Keppra cost without insurance?
Keppra prices depend on:
- the dose strength (for example, immediate-release vs. extended-release),
- the number of tablets or bottles,
- your pharmacy location and whether the pharmacy offers discount pricing, and
- whether you use a manufacturer program or a pharmacy coupon.
Because prices can change quickly and vary by location, you’ll usually need to check current cash (no-insurance) pricing at a pharmacy or pricing site for your exact product.
How much is Keppra with insurance?
With insurance, the out-of-pocket cost is typically a copay or coinsurance that depends on your plan’s:
- formulary status (preferred vs. non-preferred),
- deductible status,
- pharmacy tier, and
- whether the brand is covered or a generic is required.
If a generic version is on your plan, your Keppra out-of-pocket cost may be much lower if you switch to the covered alternative.
Is generic levetiracetam cheaper than Keppra?
Yes. Keppra is the brand name for levetiracetam, and generic levetiracetam is often available at a lower price than brand Keppra. If your goal is cost, asking your prescriber/pharmacist whether you can use “levetiracetam” (generic) instead of “Keppra” is usually the fastest way to reduce cost.
