What is Glumetza’s current price (and why it varies)?
Glumetza (extended-release metformin) pricing depends on factors like dose strength, whether you use a cash price or insurance, pharmacy location, and whether discounts or manufacturer programs apply. Because the question only says “Glumetza price,” I can’t give a single exact number without at least one detail (dose and quantity).
What price should you ask for at a pharmacy?
If you call or check pricing at pharmacies, ask for the “cash price” (no insurance) for your exact:
- Strength (commonly 500 mg or 1000 mg extended release)
- Tablet count (for example, 30-day or 90-day supply, if available)
- Formulation (Glumetza ER)
Prices can be very different across retailers, especially for branded drugs.
Is there a cheaper alternative if cost is the main issue?
Glumetza is a branded form of metformin ER. In many markets, generic metformin ER products cost less than the brand. If your goal is to lower your out-of-pocket cost, ask your prescriber/pharmacist whether a generic metformin ER substitution is appropriate for you.

Quick questions so I can give the right “Glumetza price”
Reply with:
1) Your dose strength (500 mg or 1000 mg), and
2) How many tablets (or the 30-day vs 90-day supply), and
3) Your country (US or another), and whether you want cash price or estimated insurance copay.
Then I can narrow it down to the most relevant pricing approach for your situation.
