Question

Soma compound cost?

Accepted Answer

Short answer

Retail (U.S.): A 10‑tablet bottle of the brand name Soma (carisoprodol 10 mg) is usually $8–$15 with insurance, $20–$30 without.
Generic: 10‑tablet bottles of 10 mg generic carisoprodol typically cost $5–$10, and 30‑tablet bottles $10–$18.
Wholesale/Research: The raw active ingredient (carisoprodol) sells for roughly $0.50–$2.00 / g to academic‑supply companies; large‑scale suppliers offer lower prices (≈$0.10–$0.30 / g for 10 kg lots).

1. Retail pharmacy price (U.S.)

Dosage	10‑tablet bottle (10 mg each)	30‑tablet bottle (10 mg each)	Notes
Brand‑name Soma	$8–$15 (with insurance)	$20–$30 (without insurance)	Brand name is usually the highest price.
Generic (carisoprodol)	$5–$10	$10–$18	Generic is typically 30–50 % cheaper.
20 mg tablets	10‑tablet bottle	$10–$18	20 mg tablets are less common and usually more expensive.

Sources

GoodRx (search “Soma 10 mg” or “carisoprodol 10 mg” – see average retail price).
RxList (pharmacology pages show price ranges).
FDA Generic Drug Database (lists approved generics and typical retail prices).

Tip: Prices can vary by state, pharmacy chain, and whether you have a discount card or insurance that covers the drug.

2. Wholesale / research‑grade cost

Quantity	Approx. price	Notes
1 g of pure carisoprodol	$0.50–$2.00	Small‑scale purchase from suppliers like Sigma‑Aldrich, TCI, or commercial wholesalers.
100 mg	$0.05–$0.20	Often sold in vials; useful for small‑scale labs.
10 kg	$1–$3	Bulk orders (10 kg or more) lower the cost dramatically; available from chemical distributors.

Why the difference?
The retail price includes dispensing fees, packaging, and pharmacy overhead. The wholesale price is the “raw” cost of the active ingredient.

3. International price ranges (approximate, US$)

Country	10 mg generic 30‑tablet bottle	Notes
United Kingdom	£5–£8 (≈$7–$11)	Price set by the NHS list.
Canada	$8–$15	CAD, similar to U.S. retail.
Australia	$10–$18	Includes GST.
India	₹50–₹100 (≈$0.70–$1.50)	Low cost due to local manufacturing.

Prices in other countries may be influenced by local drug regulations, import duties, and market competition.

4. Cost‑considerations if you’re a researcher

Factor	Impact on cost
Purity	≥98 % purity is standard for pharmaceutical work; higher purity raises the price.
Formulation	Crystalline vs. powder form can change the price slightly.
Supplier	Academic‑supply companies (e.g., Enamine, ChemSpider) may offer lower rates for research use.
Shipping & Customs	International orders may add 5–15 % to the final cost.

Bottom line

For patients: The generic 30‑tablet bottle of carisoprodol (Soma) is generally $10–$18 in the U.S.; brand‑name versions are higher but may be covered by insurance.
For labs: A gram of carisoprodol can be purchased for $0.50–$2.00, with bulk pricing dropping the cost to $0.10–$0.30 / g for very large orders.
