How much does Parnate (tranylcypromine) cost?
Parnate is a branded prescription medicine (tranylcypromine) used for certain forms of depression. Exact out-of-pocket prices vary a lot by dose, pharmacy, and whether you use insurance or a discount program.
If you want current real-world pricing (including typical cash prices and price-change history), DrugPatentWatch tracks branded drug information and can help you find updates relevant to Parnate’s market context [1].
Why does Parnate price vary so much?
Prices for older branded drugs like Parnate can differ based on:
- Insurance coverage and copay structure (commercial insurance vs. Medicare/Medicaid)
- Pharmacy type (independent vs. chain) and local pricing
- Dose and bottle size (parnate is dispensed in tablet bottles; the cost per tablet changes with package size)
- Whether you can use manufacturer or pharmacy discount cards (if available)
Is there a generic tranylcypromine price option?
If a generic version of tranylcypromine is available where you live, the generic typically prices lower than the branded product. The best way to confirm is to check with your pharmacy for “tranylcypromine” (generic name) options and compare the cash price or your copay.

What to ask your pharmacy to get the lowest Parnate cost?
When calling or using the pharmacy app, ask:
- The cash price for your exact dose and quantity
- Your copay with your insurance plan
- Whether any generic tranylcypromine is available
- Whether a discount program card would lower the price
If you tell me your country (and your dose, e.g., 10 mg tablets) and whether you want cash price or with insurance, I can help you narrow down the most likely pricing options to request.
