No prescription needed

You may not need a prescription for this.

acetaminophen is also sold over the counter — 2,072 non-prescription products contain the same active ingredient. Store brands at supermarkets, discount stores and dollar stores are usually the cheapest way to buy it, and no pharmacy visit is required.

We have 18 recorded shelf prices for acetaminophen — listed below with the pharmacy options, cheapest per unit first.

Same active ingredient does not mean same product. Prescription strengths are often higher than what is sold on a shelf, so confirm with your pharmacist or prescriber that the shelf version matches what you were prescribed before switching.

Cheaper form

The tablet form of this drug costs 8.2× less.

Measured per gram of acetaminophen, the solution works out at $0.56 against $0.07 for the tablet. Liquids cost more to make, ship and store, and that shows up in what you pay.

Whether a tablet would work for you is a question for your prescriber or pharmacist — it depends on the dose and on whether swallowing one is manageable. Worth asking, because they may not know the price difference either.

This is not medical advice, just a price comparison. Do not crush, split or dissolve any medication unless a pharmacist has told you that yours is safe to take that way.
