How much does Gralise cost without insurance?<\/span><\/h2>\nWithout insurance, the average cash price for 90, 600 mg oral tablets of Gralise is $1,440. With once-daily dosing, that\u2019s a 90-day supply. So a month of Gralise treatment costs about $480, or $16 a day. Shingles pain is a long-lasting medical condition that can last for years. At full retail price, a year of Gralise therapy costs $5,760.<\/span><\/p>\nIf health insurance is lacking, ask the prescribing healthcare provider about generic gabapentin or a similar antiepileptic drug, <\/span>pregabalin<\/span>. Both work the same way as Gralise and are FDA-approved to relieve shingles skin pain. However, they can only be purchased as immediate-release drugs and need to be taken three times a day. If doses are missed, people may not get the pain relief they need. At $150 for a 30-day supply, generic gabapentin could save as much as $4,000 a year and remains a great cost-saving alternative.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nBoth gabapentin and pregabalin are epilepsy drugs. Luckily, there are many treatment options for shingles pain. Because these treatments have had varied success, some options may not only cost less than Gralise, but they may also work better. In addition to gabapentin and pregabalin, the most successful treatments for shingles pain are <\/span>lidocaine<\/span> patches and <\/span>tricyclic antidepressants<\/span> such as <\/span>amitriptyline<\/span>. If these are not successful at adequate pain relief, a healthcare professional may prescribe <\/span>opioids<\/span> or other types of drugs.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n| \n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n |
