The spread
0.19× estimated
These two figures may not measure the same thing
At 0.19×, the Medicare figure is 0.2 times what pharmacies pay or less. A gap that large means the two figures may not describe the same unit or product, or the price may have changed between their dates; check what each one covers before relying on the multiple.
Part D averages every strength and form sold under “Morphine Sulfate ER” / “Morphine Sulfate” into one figure, so it is not specific to this NDC.

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 30 capsules? Is it lower than what I would pay through my insurance?
- If you have Medicare Part D: what is my plan’s copay or coinsurance for it? The Part D average on this page is not what you pay.
- These are questions about price, not medical advice. Do not change or stop a medicine without talking to your prescriber or pharmacist.
