How much does albendazole cost in the US?
Prices for albendazole in the United States vary a lot based on the exact product (tablet vs. suspension), strength, pack size, and whether you’re buying branded or generic versions. For the most current US pricing at specific pharmacies, check a US drug price aggregator or pharmacy listing.
What are the usual low-cost options (generic albendazole)?
Most albendazole prescriptions in the US are filled as generics, which typically price far lower than branded versions. Your exact out-of-pocket price can still change by:
- Pharmacy (national chains vs. local pharmacies)
- Dose and quantity (for example, 200 mg tablets vs. liquid formulations)
- Insurance coverage vs. cash price
Albendazole vs. “name-brand” pricing
If you see a higher price, it’s often for a branded product or a different formulation (liquid vs. tablets). Switching to an equivalent generic strength/form can reduce cost, but you should confirm with your prescriber/pharmacist since some regimens use specific formulations.

What you can do to lower the price today
To reduce your cost in the US, ask your pharmacist:
- Whether the generic is available for your exact strength/form
- If there’s an alternative package size that’s cheaper
- If a patient assistance program applies (usually depends on the manufacturer and product)
- If a pharmacy discount card or cash-price option is better than your insurance copay
If you want, I can narrow it to an exact price quote
Tell me:
1) tablet or liquid (suspension)?
2) strength (e.g., 200 mg) and quantity (e.g., 1 tablet, 10 tablets, 1 bottle)?
3) whether you have insurance (and if you want cash price or copay estimate)?
and I’ll help you target the most likely lowest-cost options to ask for.
