FDA gives its dosage form as injection, solution and its route as infiltration; perineural.

FDA lists 6 labelers (the companies named on the label) for its NDCs, among them Hikma Pharmaceuticals USA Inc., Hospira, Inc. and Camber Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

FDA lists it under 2 Established Pharmacologic Classes: Amide Local Anesthetic and Antiarrhythmic.

What pharmacies pay

Pharmacies pay $0.05 – $0.14 for 1 mL, depending on the NDC ($0.05423 to $0.13782 per ML), by the CMS NADAC file of 2026-10-14; those prices took effect between 2026-08-19 and 2026-09-23. That is what pharmacies pay their suppliers, not what they charge you.

NADAC’s explanation codes for it: 1, calculated from the most recently completed pharmacy survey; 4, carried forward from the previous file; 5, calculated based on package size.

The NADAC of 3 of these 12 NDCs was carried forward from an earlier file (NADAC explanation code 2 or 4), not newly surveyed: those prices took effect on 2026-08-19. The file is new; the price is not.

What to ask at the counter

None of these figures is your price: what you pay depends on your pharmacy, your insurance, coupons and discounts.

• What is your cash price for 1 mL? Is it lower than what I would pay through my insurance?
• Which NDC (the 11-digit number on the package) is this? Pharmacies pay $0.05423 to $0.13782 per ML for this product, depending on the NDC.
• How much is in the package I am getting? This page uses 1 mL; your package may hold a different amount.
• These are questions about price, not medical advice. Do not change or stop a medicine without talking to your prescriber or pharmacist.
