How medicine prices work in Saudi Arabia
The Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) registers every medicine sold in Saudi Arabia and publishes its public price.
The public price
The price shown is the registered public price per pack in the SFDA drug list. Pharmacies may not sell above this price. The list gives the price per pack, not per tablet, so our Saudi pages compare packs.
Insurance and government care
Saudi citizens can receive medicines through government hospitals and clinics. Many residents are covered by employer health insurance, which may pay all or part of the price.
Currency
Prices are in Saudi riyals (SAR). The riyal is pegged to the US dollar at 3.75 SAR per dollar, so US dollar figures on this site use that fixed rate.
Strength and pack details
The SFDA list gives the strength as a number without a unit and does not always show the pack size. We show each value exactly as published; check the pack in the pharmacy before comparing.
