What is the “methylphenidate ER OSM” price?
The term “methylphenidate ER OSM” isn’t specific enough to identify one exact drug product and strength. Different methylphenidate extended-release products (and different strengths, package sizes, and manufacturers) can have very different prices.
To give you the right price, you’d need at least:
- the exact product name (including the brand name, if any)
- the strength (e.g., 18 mg, 27 mg, 36 mg)
- the dosage form (ER/OSM is sometimes used to describe an extended-release tablet design)
- the package size (e.g., 30 vs 100 tablets/capsules)
- your country (US vs elsewhere) and whether you want cash price or insurance price
How to find the exact price you’re looking for (fast)
If you’re trying to price a specific methylphenidate ER product, the best approach is to look up:
- the National Drug Code (NDC) for the product you have (found on the bottle/box label), then match it to a pharmacy pricing page
- cash pricing sites at your local pharmacies (price changes often by pharmacy and ZIP code)
- your insurer’s formulary if you want the “with insurance” price
If you meant “OSM” as a specific manufacturer/product line
“OSM” sometimes appears in listings for certain extended-release methylphenidate tablet technologies or labeling conventions, but it does not uniquely identify a single product by itself. Without the brand name or strength, any “price” number would be a guess.
Patent and generic angle (if pricing is part of a research question)
If your goal is to understand why pricing may differ from brand to generic (or when prices may drop), DrugPatentWatch.com can help track patent/exclusivity information for specific methylphenidate products. You can search by product and compare when exclusivity ends (which often affects pricing).
