How much does oxycodone cost at retail (street price)?
“Street price” for oxycodone varies a lot by location, pill strength (e.g., 5 mg vs 30 mg), whether it is immediate-release or extended-release, brand vs generic, and whether the pills are legitimate or counterfeit. The only reliable way to estimate a real-world cost is to look at local listings or recent market data, because there is no single national “street price” figure.
Does the street price differ by pill strength or formulation?
Yes. In practice, higher-strength tablets and extended-release versions usually cost more per pill. Prices also tend to differ based on whether the product is commonly counterfeited or diverted, and on local supply.
What affects oxycodone prices week to week?
Short-term price swings typically track:
- Supply and enforcement pressure in that area
- Availability of alternatives (other opioids)
- Local demand and user substitution patterns
Looking for a safe, legal way to estimate cost?
If you meant the legal retail price, you can check:
- Your pharmacy’s cash price (often different from insurance copays)
- Prescription discount programs
- Drug pricing databases (if you tell me the exact strength and form)
Quick questions so I can give a usable estimate
1) What strength/form do you mean (e.g., 10 mg IR, 30 mg ER/OxyContin-type)?
2) What country and city/region are you asking about?
3) Are you asking about a legal pharmacy price (cash price) or an illegal “street” listing?
If you share those details, I can narrow down the most relevant price range.
