FDA gives its dosage form as tablet and its route as oral.

The labeler, the company named on the label, is Upsher-Smith Laboratories, LLC.

The NADAC file of 2026-10-14 prices it under 4 NDCs (National Drug Codes); the FDA directory lists 3 of them.

What pharmacies pay

Pharmacies pay $3.75 for 30 tablets (30 × $0.12488 per EA, rounded to the cent), by the CMS NADAC file of 2026-10-14; that price took effect on 2025-11-19. That is what pharmacies pay their suppliers, not what they charge you.

NADAC’s explanation codes for it: 4, carried forward from the previous file; 6, the CMS Covered Outpatient Drug Product File S/I/N drug category was not applied when grouping drugs for the calculation.

The NADAC of all 4 NDCs was carried forward from an earlier file (NADAC explanation code 2 or 4), not newly surveyed: those prices took effect on 2025-11-19. The file is new; the price is not.

NADAC also lists, on the row of its brand NDCs, what pharmacies pay for the generic equivalent, a different product: $0.12179 per EA filed.

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 tablets? Is it lower than what I would pay through my insurance?
• Is a generic version available, and would it suit me? NADAC lists a generic with the same ingredient, strength and dosage form by FDA: AMIODARONE HCL 200 MG TABLET. Ask your pharmacist or prescriber; do not switch on your own.
• 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.
