What’s the wholesale and retail price of Tygacil (tigecycline) injection?
Pricing for Tygacil (tigecycline) injection varies widely depending on dose strength, package size, and payer (hospital contract vs. retail).

What dose and vial/package size changes the price most?
Tygacil is typically billed based on the amount of drug supplied in the vial/pack and the way a hospital pharmacy dispenses it. If you tell me:
- the exact strength you mean (for example, mg per vial),
- your country (US vs. other),
- and whether you want cash price, Medicare, commercial insurance, or hospital acquisition cost,
I can narrow the price range to what you’re actually trying to pay.
Can the price drop if you switch formulations or use alternatives?
If price is the main issue, the next practical question is whether there are clinically acceptable alternatives (same indication, similar spectrum) that are less expensive under your insurance/hospital formulary. Comparisons depend on:
- the infection being treated,
- antimicrobial susceptibility,
- and your facility’s formulary rules.
If you share the infection type (e.g., complicated intra-abdominal infection, skin/soft tissue), I can help identify what alternatives are commonly considered.
How can I find the exact current price you’ll be charged?
To get a precise number, you generally need one of these inputs:
- Your location and whether this is a hospital-administered drug charge
- NDC (National Drug Code) / package size
- The quantity you’re being billed for
- Whether you want list price, contracted price, or patient out-of-pocket
If you reply with the NDC or vial strength/package size and your country, I’ll help you pinpoint the best matching current price reference.
