What is the current price of metformin ER (Glumetza)?
Price for metformin ER tablets (brand name Glumetza) varies a lot by dose strength, package size, pharmacy, and whether insurance covers the brand. No current, single “list price” is provided in the information available here, so the best way to confirm the exact cost is to check your specific dose at your pharmacy or via an online pharmacy price lookup.
How do Glumetza prices compare to generic metformin ER?
In most cases, generic metformin ER is cheaper than Glumetza because generics are typically far less expensive than the branded product. If your goal is the lowest cost, asking your pharmacist whether a generic metformin ER version is available for the same dose and release type is usually the fastest path to lower pricing.
Can you get Glumetza cheaper with coupons or insurance?
Yes, the out-of-pocket price can drop substantially with insurance formulary coverage, copay cards (where available), or manufacturer/customer assistance programs. The exact benefit depends on your plan and eligibility rules.

What I need to give you a more exact price
If you share these details, I can narrow the likely price range and tell you what to look for:
- Your Glumetza dose strength (for example, 500 mg, 750 mg, or 1000 mg)
- Tablet count in the bottle (or a “days supply” like 30/60/90)
- Your location (ZIP code or country)
- Whether you want cash price or an insured copay estimate
Is Glumetza covered the same way as other metformin ER products?
Coverage depends on your insurance formulary and whether your plan prefers generics or a specific brand. Many plans require prior authorization or step therapy before covering a brand when a generic is available.
