What does “1 mg of lorazepam” cost?
The price of lorazepam depends on the dosage form (tablet vs. concentrate), the brand/generic status, and the pharmacy price in your area. Even with the same strength (1 mg), total cost can differ based on package size (for example, 30 vs. 60 tablets) and whether you’re paying cash or using insurance.
How to estimate the cost of “1 mg” from a pharmacy price
Most pharmacy listings price by the package, not by a single milligram. If you know the price of a bottle/pack and how many 1 mg tablets are inside, you can estimate:
- Cost per 1 mg tablet = (total package price) ÷ (number of 1 mg tablets in the package)
For example, if a bottle of 1 mg tablets costs $X and contains Y tablets, then one 1 mg tablet is roughly $X/Y.
What commonly affects lorazepam pricing
Lorazepam is usually available as a generic, and generic prices can be much lower than brand pricing. Prices also vary by:
- Pharmacy (CVS/Walgreens/local pharmacies)
- Country/state (regulatory and pricing differences)
- Quantity dispensed (30/60/90 count, etc.)
- Whether it’s cash-pay vs. with insurance
If you tell me a pharmacy price, I can compute the per-1 mg amount
If you share either:
- the cost and tablet count (e.g., “$12 for 60 tablets of lorazepam 1 mg”), or
- the exact product listing (brand/generic + count),
I can calculate the approximate cost for 1 mg.
