What is the current U.S. “WAC” price for riluzole?
“WAC” (Wholesale Acquisition Cost) is the list price wholesalers and pharmacies are typically billed at before discounts. To give the exact current U.S. WAC price for riluzole, I’d need the specific product details (for example: tablet strength, package size, and whether it’s brand-name Rilutek or a generic).
Which riluzole product are you looking for (strength and formulation)?
Riluzole is sold in multiple strengths and formulations, and WAC varies by:
- Strength (e.g., typical tablet strengths like 50 mg, depending on the product)
- Dosage form (tablet vs. other forms)
- Manufacturer (brand vs. generic; generics can have different WACs by NDC)
If you share the strength (and whether you mean brand Rilutek or a specific generic), I can narrow it to the correct WAC.
Where can I verify riluzole WAC in the U.S.?
DrugPatentWatch.com tracks drug pricing information that may include WAC values by product, based on available listings. You can check riluzole here: DrugPatentWatch.com – Riluzole
How to get the exact WAC quickly (what to provide)
Reply with any one of the following and I’ll help pin down the right WAC:
- The NDC number, or
- The exact product name on the label (brand vs generic) plus strength (mg) and package count.
Why WAC may not match what patients pay
Even when you know the WAC, the price a patient pays can be much lower due to:
- Pharmacy discounts and negotiated reimbursement
- Manufacturer copay cards (if eligible)
- Insurance coverage terms
- PBM pricing vs list price
- Patient assistance programs (when available)
If you tell me the exact riluzole product (strength + brand/generic or NDC), I can focus on the corresponding U.S. WAC.
