A modest difference, and worth one phone call

FLUCONAZOLE varies by 2.2 times between the cheapest and dearest tenth of listings. That is a real difference but a modest one, so calling around may be worth a single phone call rather than an afternoon.

This sits in the middle of the corpus, the range where where-you-fill-it genuinely changes the total.

The other forms of FLUCONAZOLE

CMS prices 2 distinct FLUCONAZOLE products. They are not interchangeable and their costs are not comparable to each other, which is exactly why a single headline price for a drug name is usually meaningless.

The Sold as column is usually the reason two rows differ: an over-the-counter product and a prescription-strength one carry the same drug name and are priced as different products entirely. Unit matters as much: a price per tablet and a price per millilitre are not the same measurement.

What the spread tells you about shopping around

Between the cheapest tenth of listings and the dearest tenth, FLUCONAZOLE varies by 2.2 times. That is a wide band, and it means the same product genuinely costs different pharmacies different amounts. It is one of the cases where calling around can change the number.

Documented interactions

Interaction data is informational and not a substitute for your pharmacist, who can see your full list.

A note on the 30-unit figure. Thirty units of FLUCONAZOLE would cost a pharmacy about $12.48. That is a comparison basis, not a prescription quantity and not a monthly cost: it assumes one unit at a time and says nothing about how this drug is actually dosed.

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.
