Risperdal consta cost?

Prices for Risperdal Consta (risperidone long‑acting injectable) vary a lot by country, dose, pharmacy, and whether you have insurance. There isn’t a single price.

If you’re in the U.S. and using the standard dosing (two loading injections two weeks apart, then every two weeks thereafter), rough ballpark would be:
- Around $1,000–$2,000 per injection (before insurance).
- With about 26 injections per year, that could translate to roughly $26,000–$52,000 list price per year before any discounts or coverage.

Important caveats:
- Your actual out-of-pocket can be much lower if you have insurance, Medicaid/Medicare, or pharmaceutical assistance programs.
- Risperdal Consta is brand-name only in many places; the oral form (risperidone) has generics and is much cheaper, but it’s not the same long-acting injectable.
- Other long-acting injectables (e.g., paliperidone palmitate, aripiprazole lauroxil) have different costs.

How to get an exact number:
- Ask your pharmacist or insurer for the exact price with your plan.
- Use price comparison tools (e.g., GoodRx in the U.S.) to estimate out-of-pocket.
- Check Janssen’s patient assistance programs or your clinic social worker for help with access.

If you tell me your country, the exact dose prescribed (25 mg, 37.5 mg, or 50 mg), and whether you have insurance, I can give a more tailored estimate and steps to reduce cost.
