Frequently asked questions
Is Theophylline Er (Theochron) expensive if I don't have insurance?
At the US pharmacies in our data, the lowest listed discount-card price for Theophylline Er is around $28.02. Prices vary by pharmacy, dosage, and pack size, so use the table above to compare specific options near you.
Can I buy Theophylline Er (Theochron) at a Cost Plus Drugs price?

How much does Theophylline Er (Theochron) cost in Canada?
Canadian pharmacy listings in our data show Theophylline Er priced from about $0.420 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 Theophylline Er (Theochron) 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 will I pay for Theophylline ER with insurance coverage?
Your out-of-pocket cost with insurance, or copay, depends entirely on your specific plan's formulary and the prescribed dosage. It's advisable to ask your pharmacist to compare your insurance copay against the price available through a prescription discount program, as the latter may sometimes offer greater savings.
Is Theophylline ER covered by Medicare, and what are the costs involved?
Medicare Part D prescription drug plans generally include coverage for Theophylline ER. The specific copay amount will vary by plan. Patients who are not eligible for Medicare can explore other savings options, such as pharmacy discount cards, which may offer the medication for a reduced price.
Is Theophylline ER available under a brand name?
Theophylline ER is itself a generic medication. It serves as a generic alternative to older brand-name theophylline products, such as Elixophyllin, which are no longer widely marketed.
