How much does metformin cost without insurance?
Before comparing metformin prices, check whether your prescription says regular tablets or extended release. ER or XR wording matters even when the strength is the same. Choose the exact version shown on your label.
There is no single price for every prescription or pharmacy. Use the search with your exact prescription and ZIP code to see a current estimate. The pharmacy confirms the amount due when it processes the prescription.
- Catalog name
- metformin hydrochloride
- Form covered here
- Immediate-release tablets
- Listed strengths
- 500, 850, 1000 mg
- Quantity to compare
- The tablet count on your prescription
Check the product before comparing
The strengths below describe immediate-release tablets. Extended-release metformin has separate product listings. Do not use an immediate-release quote to estimate an extended-release prescription, and do not switch versions to match a price.
Are metformin 500 mg and metformin ER 500 mg the same price search?
No. Regular and extended-release tablets have separate listings even when both say 500 mg. First check for ER or XR on your label, then choose the matching form. Enter the tablet count, not the number of days, in Quantity. If a result looks unexpectedly low, check the form before comparing pharmacies.
How to check your price
- Find your prescription
Select the name, form, strength, quantity and days supply. Enter a U.S. ZIP code.
- Compare nearby pharmacies
Compare the total for the same prescription and check the branch address. Results do not confirm stock.
- Show the card from your result
Save that card to your phone or print it. Show it before paying and ask the pharmacy to confirm the final price.
Search example: Metformin 500 mg · 60 tablets. This illustrates the search, not a recommended dose. Use your own prescription details.
Is a quantity of 60 the same as a 60-day supply?
Not necessarily. Quantity counts tablets; days supply depends on the directions in your prescription. Enter the number of tablets the pharmacy will dispense. Ask the pharmacist to verify the quantity and days supply if your online estimate and pharmacy quote differ.
Which card should I show at the pharmacy?
RxNow checks two pricing options, BIN 019330 and BIN 610272. If both return a price for the same matched pharmacy, the search displays the lower one. Use the card attached to that result and keep its BIN, PCN, Group and ID together. Neither network is always cheaper. Prices and acceptance can vary.
RxNow is a discount program, not insurance. If you have insurance, ask the pharmacy to compare the discount with your copay. They cannot be combined on the same purchase.
Your privacy when checking prices
No enrollment, name, email address or date of birth is needed to search prices or download a card. Use your prescription details and a U.S. ZIP code. RxNow does not sell or mail medication; you choose a participating pharmacy. The pharmacy still needs the prescription and its usual patient information.
