Frequently asked questions

Our most recent US pharmacy data shows a low of roughly $29.44 for Pilocarpine Hcl with a standard discount card. That figure moves with dosage and quantity — check the comparison table for the exact combination you need.
Is Pilocarpine Hcl (Salagen) available through Cost Plus Drugs?

What do Canadian pharmacies charge for Pilocarpine Hcl (Salagen)?
We found Canadian pricing for Pilocarpine Hcl starting near $0.290 per tablet in USD terms. That's before any shipping charge, which the table above breaks out separately.
Why is Pilocarpine Hcl (Salagen) 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.
What can I expect to pay for pilocarpine with my insurance?
The cost of pilocarpine with insurance depends entirely on your specific plan's formulary, copay structure, and coverage tiers. Some plans may cover it with a standard copayment, while others may not include it at all. To get an accurate estimate of your cost, you should contact your insurance provider directly. If your plan does not cover pilocarpine or imposes a high copay, you can explore alternative payment options, such as pharmacy discount programs, to help manage the expense.
What is the brand-name version of pilocarpine?
Pilocarpine is the generic form of the brand-name drug Isopto Carpine. Both contain the same active ingredient and are therapeutically equivalent. The primary difference is cost, with the generic pilocarpine generally being significantly more affordable for most patients compared to the branded product.
