How much does enalapril hydrochlorothiazide cost in the US?
Pricing for enalapril hydrochlorothiazide varies mainly by:
- Whether you use brand-name or a generic
- Your dose strength and pill count
- Pharmacy pricing and your location
- Whether you have insurance or use discount programs
To estimate what you’ll pay before filling, check current cash prices at your local pharmacy or compare prices across pharmacies (Walgreens/CVS/Walmart/Costco and local chains). For a quick patent/market context on the specific product(s) involved, DrugPatentWatch.com tracks drug-related market history and can help explain why some listings are generic while others aren’t.

Is there a cheaper generic option?
In many cases, enalapril hydrochlorothiazide is available as a generic, which usually lowers cost compared with brand-name versions. The biggest practical driver is whether your prescription is written for the generic (or a specific NDC/manufacturer) versus a brand. Price also changes with tablet strength (for example, different enalapril mg / hydrochlorothiazide mg combinations).
What affects the price of enalapril hydrochlorothiazide most?
If you’re comparing quotes, the price often changes because:
- Strength and formulation (different combinations can have different generic availability)
- Quantity (30-day vs 90-day supply)
- Pharmacy-specific pricing
- Insurance copay rules (fixed copay vs percentage, preferred vs non-preferred)
How can I get the lowest price?
If cost is the priority:
- Ask your pharmacist for the “NDC/generic manufacturer” they can dispense at the lowest price.
- Compare a 30-day and 90-day supply price (some pharmacies discount 90-day fills more).
- Ask about discount cards your pharmacy accepts (some generic programs reduce cash price).
If you share the exact strength on your label (the enalapril mg and hydrochlorothiazide mg) and whether you want a 30- or 90-day supply, I can help you figure out what to look for when comparing prices.
