How much does Celebrex cost without insurance?

Depending on dose and frequency, Celebrex can cost cash-paying patients $100 – $500 per month.

Celebrex costs a ton because it’s a brand name drug. It was just in May 2014 when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the first generic versions of the anti-inflammatory drug celecoxib (Celebrex, Pfizer).

Teva Pharmaceutical Industries received approval to market celecoxib capsules in 50 milligram, 100 mg, 200 mg, and 400 mg strengths, and has 180-day exclusivity on the 100 mg, 200 mg, and 400 mg strength products. Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. received approval to market 50 mg celecoxib capsules.

More information about FDA's decision is available on their website.
