Azithromycin 200mg/5ml price?

Azithromycin in the 200 mg/5 mL formulation (often called a “drops” or “liquid” preparation) is sold under a few brand names and as a generic. Because pricing is highly dependent on your country, the pharmacy you use, whether you’re buying in a retail or hospital setting, and whether you have insurance or a discount card, the best way to get an accurate figure is to check:

| Where you can find the price | What to look for |
|------------------------------|------------------|
| Local pharmacy (online or in‑store) | Ask for the cost of a 5 mL bottle or a 100 mL bottle (often sold in 100 mL units). |
| Wholesale distributors or drug‑store chains | Many provide price lists for bulk or retail orders. |
| Insurance formularies | If you’re covered, your plan may list a copay or co‑insurance amount. |
| Government or public‑health websites | Some countries publish reference prices for common medicines. |

Rough ballpark

In many U.S. pharmacies, a 100 mL bottle of the generic 200 mg/5 mL liquid can range from $10 to $30 (USD) before insurance. In other countries the same bottle might be significantly cheaper or more expensive depending on local pricing regulations and subsidies. For example:

- United States – $10–$30 for a 100 mL bottle (generic).
- United Kingdom – £4–£7 per 100 mL bottle (generic) when purchased at a pharmacy.
- India – ₹100–₹300 for a 100 mL bottle (generic), though prices vary widely between cities and brands.

These ranges are illustrative and may have changed since the last public price update. For the most reliable figure, call a nearby pharmacy or look online at reputable pharmacy pricing sites such as GoodRx (U.S.) or the NHS website (U.K.).

Quick tips to save

1. Ask for the generic – It’s usually the same strength and formulation but can be 2–3× cheaper.
2. Check for discount cards or loyalty programs – Some pharmacies offer reduced prices if you sign up.
3. Compare online – Many U.S. online pharmacies provide free shipping for a minimum purchase, which can bring the cost per bottle down.
