How much does Azithromycin (Azithromycin) cost without insurance?
Our most recent US pharmacy data shows a low of roughly $5.93 for Azithromycin with a standard discount card. That figure moves with dosage and quantity — check the comparison table for the exact combination you need.

What do Canadian pharmacies charge for Azithromycin (Azithromycin)?
We found Canadian pricing for Azithromycin starting near $0.660 per tablet in USD terms. That's before any shipping charge, which the table above breaks out separately.
Why is Azithromycin (Azithromycin) 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.
How does health insurance affect the price of azithromycin?
Your final cost for azithromycin with insurance depends entirely on your specific plan's formulary, copay, and deductible. To determine your exact out-of-pocket expense, contact your insurance provider directly. For the best price, ask your pharmacist to compare the insurance copay against the price available with a pharmacy savings card. This comparison can help you secure the lowest possible cost for your prescription.
What are the brand-name versions of azithromycin?
Azithromycin is the generic name for this antibiotic. It is sold under several brand names, including Zithromax, Zithromax Z-Pak, and Zithromax Tri-Pak.
What is azithromycin used to treat?
Azithromycin is an FDA-approved antibiotic effective against various bacterial infections. Common uses include treating strep throat, certain ear and sinus infections, and some sexually transmitted diseases. It is crucial to understand that antibiotics like azithromycin do not work against viral infections such as influenza or the common cold.
