If you need Antivert (meclizine) and want to know the price, the short answer: brand-name Antivert usually costs a lot more than the generic meclizine. Exact prices depend on strength, bottle size, where you buy it, and whether you have insurance. Below I break down realistic ranges and practical ways to keep your costs down.
Strength and quantity matter. A 25 mg tablet is the common dose; a 30-tablet bottle costs less per pill than a 10-tablet pack. Brand vs generic is the biggest factor — generic meclizine is widely available and much cheaper than brand Antivert. Pharmacy type also matters: big chains, local pharmacies, and online stores can have very different prices for the same product.
Insurance coverage changes the out-of-pocket price. Some plans list meclizine on a low-cost tier, others might require a prescription for coverage. Manufacturer coupons, pharmacy discount programs, and seasonal sales can cut the price further. Finally, where the pharmacy is located and shipping fees (for online orders) add to the final total.
Expect these ballpark numbers (US retail prices without insurance): generic meclizine 25 mg — about $6 to $40 for 30 tablets. That equals roughly $0.20 to $1.30 per pill. Brand Antivert for the same count often runs much higher — roughly $60 to $200 for 30 tablets, or about $2 to $6+ per pill. Prices can fall outside these ranges, but these figures match what many shoppers see when comparing local and online pharmacies.
If you need a larger supply, a 90-day fill usually lowers the per-pill cost. Mail-order pharmacies sometimes offer better rates for longer supplies, and discount cards from services like GoodRx can drop prices for a single fill.
Want to save without risking your health? Ask your prescriber for the generic meclizine name, compare prices across three pharmacies (including reputable online ones), and check discount apps before you pay. If your doctor writes "dispense as written" for brand Antivert, ask whether switching to generic is safe for your case.
Be careful with very cheap overseas offers. They can look tempting but may not follow the same safety and storage rules. If you try an international pharmacy, verify credentials and read reviews. Always check the medication packaging and expiration date when it arrives.
Need help figuring out insurance coverage or coupons? Call your pharmacy — pharmacists are used to helping patients find lower-cost options and can often suggest the cheapest legal route for your prescription. And of course, talk to your doctor before changing dose or brand.
