Why does Colestipol Hcl (Colestid) cost more in one country than the other?
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.
What determines the cost of Colestid with insurance coverage?
Your out-of-pocket cost for Colestid with insurance depends on your specific plan's formulary, deductible, and copay structure. It is best to consult your insurance provider or pharmacist for an exact estimate. In some situations, a pharmacy savings coupon may offer a price lower than your insurance copay, so comparing options with your pharmacist is advisable.

While brand-name Colestid is often not covered by Medicare Part D or Medicare Advantage plans, its generic equivalent, colestipol, is typically included on plan formularies.
