Frequently asked questions

What's the cash price for Capecitabine in the US?

At the US pharmacies in our data, the lowest listed discount-card price for Capecitabine is around $61.54. Prices vary by pharmacy, dosage, and pack size, so use the table above to compare specific options near you.

Can I buy Capecitabine at a Cost Plus Drugs price?

Yes — Cost Plus Drugs lists Capecitabine at roughly $0.146 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 Capecitabine cost in Canada?

Canadian pharmacy listings in our data show Capecitabine priced from about $0.510 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 Capecitabine 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 does insurance affect the cost of capecitabine?

The cost of capecitabine with insurance depends entirely on the details of your specific plan, including formulary status, deductible, and copay or coinsurance. It is essential to check with your insurance provider to understand your coverage. In some instances, patients may find that a discounted cash price available through a pharmacy savings program is lower than their insurance copay. Your pharmacist can often help compare these options at the point of sale.

Is capecitabine covered by Medicare, and what are the potential costs?

Coverage for capecitabine under Medicare depends on how it is administered. Medicare Part B may cover the drug if it is given in an outpatient clinic or doctor's office. Medicare Part D and Medicare Advantage prescription drug plans typically do not cover capecitabine. For patients without coverage, exploring pharmacy discount programs can help manage costs, potentially offering prices significantly lower than the full retail rate.

What is the brand-name equivalent of capecitabine?

Capecitabine is the generic form of the brand-name drug Xeloda. Generic capecitabine is produced by several manufacturers, including Mylan, Amneal, and Teva.
