Ivermectin Cost Without Insurance (2026)

Without insurance, ivermectin for humans through Get It Prescribed costs a one-time $50 provider consultation fee plus $3.00 per 24 mg scored tablet if a prescription is issued, with no membership or hidden fees. At retail pharmacies, the cash price for generic ivermectin varies widely by pharmacy, quantity and discount card, and it never includes the visit you need to get the prescription.

Why there is no single retail price

Ivermectin tablets are available as a generic in the United States, and generic cash prices are set independently by each pharmacy. Two pharmacies on the same street can quote noticeably different cash prices for the same quantity, and discount-card prices (the kind advertised by services like GoodRx) are different again from a pharmacy's own shelf price. Because those prices change frequently and vary by ZIP code, quantity, and manufacturer, this page does not publish a specific national dollar figure for retail ivermectin. The honest guidance is to call two or three local pharmacies with the exact strength and quantity on your prescription and compare their cash quotes directly.

What actually drives the cost difference

| Cost driver | Why it matters | |---|---| | Strength and quantity | Cash price scales with the number of tablets dispensed, and the milligram strength affects how many tablets a prescription calls for. | | Pharmacy type | Large chains, independents, and compounding pharmacies price generics differently, and each sets its own cash rate. | | Discount cards and coupons | Card programs negotiate their own rates, which may be above or below the pharmacy's standard cash price. | | Commercial vs. compounded | A commercially manufactured tablet and a compounded preparation are priced on entirely different bases. | | The visit itself | A retail cash price never includes the clinical visit needed to obtain the prescription. That cost is separate. |

Do not forget the visit cost

Comparing only the medication price is the most common mistake. Ivermectin is prescription-only in the United States, so any cash price you find at a pharmacy assumes you already have a valid prescription. Getting one requires a clinician visit: an urgent-care or primary-care cash visit, a telehealth visit, or a covered appointment with a co-pay. When you compare options, add the visit cost to the medication cost — otherwise you are comparing half of one total against all of another.

What it costs here — the full breakdown

| Item | Cost | Notes | |---|---|---| | Provider consultation | $50, one time | Covers review for one or both medications, charged once per consultation | | Ivermectin 24 mg scored tablet | $3.00 each | Quantity determined by the reviewing provider | | Mebendazole 222 mg capsule | $3.50 each | Only if also requested and prescribed | | Membership or subscription | $0 | There is none | | Shipping and tracking | Included | Filled by a PCAB accredited, VPP inspected partner pharmacy |

Your total is the $50 fee plus $3.00 multiplied by the quantity your provider determines. Nothing is added at the end. Full details are on the pricing page, and you can get ivermectin prescribed online — the process itself is walked through in how do I get an ivermectin prescription online by completing the assessment.

Comparing your options, honestly

| | Local pharmacy with a prescription | Telehealth services generally | Get It Prescribed | |---|---|---|---| | Medication price | Varies by pharmacy and quantity; call to confirm | Varies by service; sometimes bundled, sometimes not | $3.00 per 24 mg tablet, published | | Visit cost | Separate; depends on where you get the prescription | Often a visit or membership fee; models differ | $50 one time, covers one or both medications | | Price visibility before you commit | Requires phone calls to compare | Varies; some publish, some quote after intake | Both components published before checkout | | Insurance | May be billable depending on your plan | Varies by service | Not billed; cash-pay only | | Prescription guaranteed | No — the prescriber decides | No — the prescriber decides | No — the prescriber decides |

This comparison is deliberately qualitative for other services. Telehealth pricing models change often, and quoting a competitor's number that has since changed would be worse than useless to you. Check any service's own pricing page for its current figures.

Ways to lower what you pay

Ask the pharmacy for its cash price and the discount-card price and take whichever is lower; both are usually available on request. Ask your provider whether a different quantity achieves the same plan, since quantity is often the biggest lever. And confirm the total before you pay rather than after — any service unwilling to show you both the visit fee and the medication cost up front is worth questioning.

What is not included in any price

No price quoted anywhere guarantees a prescription. An independent licensed provider reviews each request and prescribes only when it is clinically appropriate for a labeled use, based on your history and current medications. If a provider does not prescribe, you are not charged for medication that was not dispensed; here, the $50 consultation fee remains non-refundable because the clinical review was still performed. See the refund policy for the exact terms.
