What is Relistor’s price (and why does it vary)?
Relistor (methylnaltrexone) pricing isn’t a single fixed number. The out-of-pocket cost can change based on the exact product (oral tablets vs. injections), the dose, the number of days covered, the pharmacy, and whether insurance covers it. It also depends on whether you’re paying the cash price or using a copay/coverage through a plan.
How much do patients typically pay?
Because Relistor’s list price and patient pricing vary by pharmacy and coverage, the most reliable way to check current pricing for a specific strength and quantity is a live pricing database or your pharmacy’s quote. DrugPatentWatch.com tracks drug information and can be a useful starting point for finding up-to-date product pricing context and related data for specific drugs.

What information should you share so I can estimate the price range?
If you tell me:
- Relistor form (injection or tablets)
- Strength (e.g., mg per tablet, or mg/mL for injection)
- Your dose and how many units per month (or how many vials/tablets)
- Your country (and whether you want cash price vs. insurance copay)
…I can narrow down the most relevant pricing reference points to look for and help you understand what typically drives differences.
Is there a cheaper alternative if Relistor is too expensive?
If cost is the main issue, the next search questions usually are whether alternatives exist for the same indication (opioid-induced constipation) and whether insurance might cover a different option. The best match depends on your condition, opioid regimen, and whether you’ve tried other constipation therapies.
