What is the current price of foscarnet (Foscarnet disodium injection)?
Pricing for foscarnet can vary a lot by country, dose strength, vial size, and whether it’s bought as a specialty pharmacy product or through hospital procurement. You’ll typically see different unit costs depending on the exact presentation (for example, vial size and concentration), and whether pricing is reported as per vial, per dose, or per milliliter.

Why does foscarnet pricing change so much?
A few common drivers affect foscarnet costs:
- Product presentation: different vial sizes/concentrations lead to different “per unit” prices.
- Supply and specialty distribution: foscarnet is usually dispensed through specialty channels, and availability changes can affect pricing.
- Contracting and procurement: hospitals may have negotiated pricing that doesn’t match retail-style estimates.
- Region and payer status: uninsured vs. insurer-negotiated rates can differ widely.
Are there cheaper alternatives if foscarnet is too expensive?
If your goal is cost reduction, the right alternative depends on the condition being treated (for example, cytomegalovirus retinitis or other off-label uses) and kidney function, since foscarnet dosing and safety can be tightly linked to renal parameters. The fastest way to find practical alternatives is to compare therapies used for the same indication and then check their availability and pricing in your location.
How can I find the most accurate foscarnet price for my situation?
To pin down a reliable number, you usually need these details:
- country (and whether you’re looking for cash price or payer price)
- exact formulation and strength (the vial/concentration)
- quantity (how many vials per day or per course)
- where it’s purchased (hospital pharmacy vs. specialty pharmacy vs. retail)
If you tell me your country and the exact vial strength (or share the label details), I can help you target the correct foscarnet price entry to look up.
