What is the cost price of montelukast (Singulair) and why prices vary
“Singulair” is the brand name for montelukast, a prescription medicine used for asthma and allergies. The price you pay depends on:
- Country and local pricing rules
- Dose strength (commonly 4 mg or 5 mg for children, 10 mg for adults)
- Pack size (number of tablets)
- Whether you buy brand Singulair or generic montelukast
- Insurance coverage, coupons, and pharmacy pricing
Because you asked for “cost price,” the exact number can’t be pinned down without your location (country) and the specific strength/pack you mean.
Is generic montelukast cheaper than brand Singulair?
In many markets, generic montelukast is cheaper than brand Singulair because it doesn’t carry brand R&D and marketing costs. If you’re trying to lower cost, checking the generic option at your pharmacy (or online) is usually the quickest path to a lower price.

What information do I need to find the right price for you?
Reply with:
1) Your country (or ZIP/postal code)
2) Singulair or generic montelukast?
3) Dose strength (10 mg, 5 mg, or 4 mg)
4) Pack size (how many tablets/chochettes)
With those details, I can help you narrow down the likely “cost price” you should expect and what to compare at the pharmacy.
Common edge case: tablets vs chewables
Prices can differ between tablet and chewable formulations (and between pediatric strengths). If you have a prescription label, share the exact wording (e.g., “montelukast 10 mg tablet” vs “montelukast 4 mg chewable”).
