AMIODARONE: what pharmacies pay, and what that tells you
AMIODARONE costs a pharmacy a median of $0.5212 per ml. That is what the pharmacy pays to acquire it. It is not your price: a dispensing fee and margin sit between this number and your receipt.
The drug is not the cost here
AMIODARONE costs a pharmacy $0.5212 a unit, which places it in the cheapest 49% of the 3,439 products CMS prices. At that level the dispensing fee routinely exceeds the medicine itself, so what you pay is decided almost entirely by where you fill it and under what programme, not by the drug. What is worth more attention on this drug is the 2 documented interactions below, which affect whether it is safe to take rather than what it costs.
Where it sits against every other priced drug
Acquisition cost percentile, 3,439 priced products
This sits in the middle of the corpus, the range where where-you-fill-it genuinely changes the total.
What the spread tells you about shopping around
Between the cheapest tenth of listings and the dearest tenth, AMIODARONE varies by almost nothing. That is a tight band. That is less ordinary at this cost level, where products more often vary between suppliers. Pharmacies are buying it at close to the same price, so a difference in what you are charged is a difference in fees and margin rather than in the drug.
Documented interactions
- Simvastatin with Amiodarone (Severe). Amiodarone significantly increases simvastatin blood levels, raising the risk of severe muscle damage (rhabdomyolysis) and kidney failure.
- Digoxin with Amiodarone (Severe). Amiodarone increases digoxin blood levels by approximately 70 to 100 percent, which can cause digoxin toxicity.

What this page is, and is not
Every figure here is CMS NADAC, the federal survey of what retail pharmacies pay to acquire a drug. It is public-domain federal data and it is the cleanest available floor. It excludes your dispensing fee, your pharmacy's margin, your insurance design and any discount-card pricing, all of which sit between this number and what you hand over. Nothing here is medical advice.
