Oruvail price?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for Oruvail

Oruvail is a branded medication (the brand name for the drug pregabalin in certain markets) that’s used mainly for diabetic peripheral neuropathy and other neuropathic pain conditions. Because it’s a brand‑name product, the price can be noticeably higher than the generic version (Lyrica® and other non‑branded pregabalin products).

1. Where are you looking to buy it?

  • United States
  • Canada
  • Europe / Other

    The price can differ dramatically by country, by pharmacy, and even by the specific formulation (e.g., 150 mg vs. 300 mg tablets). If you let me know the country (or if you’re just looking for a ball‑park U.S. price), I can give a more precise estimate.

| Oruvail 300 mg tablets (30 tablet bottle) | $350–$520 | Usually 30% higher than the 150 mg. |

4. Other countries (example)


- UK (NHS): Pregabalin is usually prescribed at 150 mg or 300 mg, and the NHS covers it under the standard tariff (usually around £10–£15 per 30‑tablet pack). The brand Oruvail may not be listed on the NHS formulary, so it could be significantly more expensive if you buy it privately.
- Germany: Generic pregabalin is about €25–€35 per 30‑tablet pack; the brand could be 1.5–2× that.
