Frequently asked questions

What's the cash price for Minoxidil (Minoxidil) in the US?

At the US pharmacies in our data, the lowest listed discount-card price for Minoxidil is around $6.89. Prices vary by pharmacy, dosage, and pack size, so use the table above to compare specific options near you.

Can I buy Minoxidil (Minoxidil) at a Cost Plus Drugs price?

Yes — Cost Plus Drugs lists Minoxidil at roughly $0.024 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.

How much does Minoxidil (Minoxidil) cost in Canada?

Canadian pharmacy listings in our data show Minoxidil priced from about $0.110 per tablet (converted to USD), before shipping. Pack size and pharmacy both affect the final total — see the Canada pricing table for specifics.

Why does Minoxidil (Minoxidil) 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.

How much does Minoxidil cost with health insurance?

The cost of Minoxidil with insurance depends entirely on your specific health plan, including your deductible and copay structure. It is best to consult your pharmacist or insurance provider to determine your exact out-of-pocket expense. Note that some savings options, like discount cards, may offer a price lower than your insurance copay, so it can be worthwhile to ask your pharmacist to compare prices for you.

Is Minoxidil covered by Medicare, and what is the cost?

Most Medicare Part D prescription drug plans cover generic Minoxidil. The patient copay amount will vary based on your plan's formulary and coverage phase (e.g., deductible, initial coverage). To find your exact cost, check your plan's drug list or ask your pharmacist. It is also advisable to compare the plan's copay against other available pharmacy savings options, as the lowest price may come from a different source.

What was the original brand name for Minoxidil?

Minoxidil is a generic medication produced by several manufacturers, including Par Pharmaceutical, Teva Pharmaceuticals, Sun Pharmaceutical, and AvKare. The original brand-name product was called Loniten, but this branded version is no longer marketed in the United States. Only generic Minoxidil tablets are currently available by prescription.
