What does Aptiom (eslicarbazepine acetate) cost, and why can prices vary?

How can I estimate my out-of-pocket Aptiom price before filling?
To estimate your likely cost:
- Check the exact dose (Aptiom comes in different strengths), because cost can differ by strength.
- Ask your pharmacy for the cash price and an “insurance price” for the exact product/NDC.
- If you have insurance, confirm whether your plan prefers a specific formulary product (brand vs generic, or prior authorization requirements).
- If cost is high, ask the pharmacy whether substitution to a generic is allowed for your prescription.
