Orlistat cost without insurance

The figures here are what US retail pharmacies pay for generic orlistat: about $7.07 per capsule (120 mg capsule), so $212 for a 30-day supply at one a day. If you pay cash, the pharmacy adds a dispensing fee and its margin, so expect to pay more than this, and prices differ between pharmacies for the same prescription.

With insurance or Medicare Part D you usually pay a fixed co-pay or co-insurance instead. Ask for the generic rather than the brand, compare a few pharmacies, and check discount programs: for cheap generics a cash price can be lower than your co-pay.

India

has the lowest listed price per capsule for the same strength: $0.16 vs $7.07 here (different price types; see below).

What this price means

How NADAC prices work in the United States

Prices on this page are the National Average Drug Acquisition Cost (NADAC): the average price US retail pharmacies pay wholesalers for the drug, per tablet, capsule, mL or gram, from a monthly survey run for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). It is not the price on your receipt. Pharmacies add a dispensing fee and a margin, so the cash price without insurance is higher, often much higher, while your co-pay with insurance depends on your plan. Discount programs and low-cost pharmacies often sell common generics close to this cost plus a fee.

How much does orlistat cost without insurance?
US pharmacies pay about $7.07 per capsule for 120 mg capsule, or $212 for 30 (NADAC, Oct 2026). Without insurance you pay that cost plus the pharmacy's dispensing fee and margin, so cash prices are higher and vary a lot between pharmacies. Asking for the generic, comparing pharmacies and using a discount program usually brings the price closest to this cost.
Is NADAC the retail price of orlistat?
No. NADAC is what pharmacies pay to buy the drug. It is the closest public benchmark for the real cost of a generic, which is why Medicaid uses it to pay pharmacies, but the price at the counter includes fees on top.
