Frequently asked questions
Is Captopril (Captopril) expensive if I don't have insurance?
Our most recent US pharmacy data shows a low of roughly $25.16 for Captopril with a standard discount card. That figure moves with dosage and quantity — check the comparison table for the exact combination you need.
Is Captopril (Captopril) available through Cost Plus Drugs?
Yes — Cost Plus Drugs lists Captopril at roughly $0.050 per unit, a published price with no membership card or coupon involved. See the three-price comparison above for how that stacks up against discount-card pharmacies.
What do Canadian pharmacies charge for Captopril (Captopril)?
We found Canadian pricing for Captopril starting near $0.130 per tablet in USD terms. That's before any shipping charge, which the table above breaks out separately.
Why is Captopril (Captopril) priced differently in the US and Canada?
Drug pricing is set separately in each country through different negotiation, regulatory, and distribution systems, so the same medication can legitimately carry different price tags on either side of the border. In this case, our data shows the US price is actually the lower of the two once a program like Cost Plus Drugs is factored in — the assumption that Canada is always cheaper doesn't hold for every drug.
How is the cost of Captopril determined for patients with health insurance?
Your out-of-pocket cost for Captopril with insurance, known as a copay, depends on several factors, including your specific plan, the drug's dosage, and the quantity prescribed. In some cases, the price available through a pharmacy savings program or coupon might be lower than your insurance copay. It's recommended to check with your pharmacist to compare your insurance cost against other potential savings options to find the most affordable route.
Is Captopril covered by Medicare, and what are the associated costs?
Yes, Captopril is typically covered under Medicare Part D prescription drug plans. The exact cost for a Medicare beneficiary will depend on their specific plan's formulary and coverage phase. For those without Medicare coverage, exploring manufacturer coupons or pharmacy discount programs can provide significant savings at most retail pharmacies.
Is Captopril available under a brand name?
Captopril is the generic name for the medication. It was originally marketed under the brand name Capoten, which has been discontinued by its manufacturer, GlaxoSmithKline. Today, generic Captopril is produced by several pharmaceutical companies, including Technilab and Par Pharmaceuticals.
