Being a generic medication, pravastatin costs less than many brand-name counterparts. A 3-month supply of 90, 40 mg tablets of the drug costs about $300.

Largely, this relates to different manufacturers and pharmacies putting their own price tag on the product. The expense could be around $300 for 90, 40 mg tablets of pravastatin, a price point that would mean shelling out over $3 per day for the lipid-lowering medication. Another way to look at it is that you would be paying over $1200 per year for the drug. These perspectives provide powerful motivation to look for discounts.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"how-much-does-brand-name-pravastatin-cost\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How much does brand-name

However, the cost is not negligible, and manufacturer assistance programs are typically not available for generic meds like pravastatin. Saving on pravastatin does not have to be difficult, though.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"use-a-singlecare-discount-card\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a SingleCare <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">discount card<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription-discount-card\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SingleCare <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">discount card<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is free and easy. With it in hand, you can save money on pravastatin and many other medications. Take the discount card and your prescription to your pharmacist to see how much you can save. For instance, it could save you nearly $290 for a three-month supply of pravastatin by paying $13 for 90, 40 mg tablets instead of $300. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"check-prices-at-different-pharmacies\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check prices at different pharmacies<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When shopping at different department stores, prices of the same item can differ from one retailer to another. In a similar fashion, the cost of a drug will depend on which pharmacy you are at.

With a SingleCare coupon, pravastatin\u2019s price for 90, 40 mg tablets can vary from $13 to $70. Over the course of a year, that difference amounts to over $200.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"consider-getting-a-90-day-supply\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider getting a 90-day supply<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Volume discounts can apply to prescription medications. If you and your healthcare provider are confident that you will be on the medicine long-term, a prescription for more tablets might make sense. A 30-day supply of 30, 40 mg tablets of pravastatin may cost only $7 with a SingleCare discount, but over the course of three months, that adds up to $21. In other words, those 90 tablets cost $21 compared to $13 if they had been purchased at one time. In essence, getting a 90-day supply would provide a 33% discount in this instance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"look-into-other-cholesterol-medication\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Look into other cholesterol medication<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are not comfortable with the price of pravastatin or want to explore other options, ask your healthcare provider for information and medical advice about any alternatives that could be out there. Within the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/drug-classes\/statins\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">statin class<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which is usually preferred, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/pravastatin-vs-lipitor\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">atorvastatin<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and simvastatin may have lower price points than pravastatin for 90-day supplies. Outside that drug class, there are more expensive brand-name options like Praulent, Repatha, Leqvio, and Nexletol, but there are also cheaper drugs like ezetimibe that effectively treat high cholesterol.
