What’s the current Cefzil (cefprozil) price?
I can’t give an accurate current Cefzil price without knowing the exact product you mean (for example, tablet vs. suspension), the strength, and the package size. Prices also change based on ZIP code, pharmacy, and whether you’re using insurance or a discount card.
If you share:
- your country (and ZIP code if in the U.S.)
- formulation (suspension or tablet)
- strength (e.g., mg/5 mL or mg per tablet)
- bottle size (mL) or tablet count
…I can narrow it down to the right listing and estimate what you’d likely pay.
Is Cefzil still brand-name only, or is there a generic that’s cheaper?
Cefzil is a brand name for cefprozil. In many markets, generics can be significantly cheaper than the brand, especially for antibiotics that are no longer covered by brand-exclusive protections.

Why do Cefzil prices vary so much?
Even for the same strength, the out-of-pocket price can swing because of:
- formulation (liquid suspensions can price differently than tablets)
- bottle size (larger quantities often reduce the per-day cost)
- pharmacy contracts and local competition
- insurance tier (generic vs. brand coverage rules)
- discount programs (GoodRx-type pricing vs. standard cash price)
Can you estimate cost per day?
If you tell me the dose prescribed (or the mg per day and how many days it’s for), I can translate the package price into a rough “cost per course” and “cost per day” estimate—often the most useful way to compare options.
What you can do right now to get the best price
- Ask the pharmacist if cefprozil generic is an equal substitute for the prescribed brand.
- Compare cash prices at 2–3 pharmacies for the same NDC (drug + strength + package).
- If insurance coverage is unclear, ask what the copay would be for “generic cefprozil” versus “Cefzil brand.”
