Cephalexin: what pharmacies actually pay
Prices below are the National Average Drug Acquisition Cost (NADAC) — the federal government's weekly survey of what pharmacies actually pay their wholesalers, as of 07/22/2026. Your pharmacy's cash price includes their markup and dispensing cost, so it will be higher — but if it's many times this number, that's a signal to shop around.
| Form & strength | Pharmacy cost | Unit | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| CEPHALEXIN 125 MG/5 ML SUSP | $0.06 | per mL | Generic |
| CEPHALEXIN 250 MG CAPSULE | $0.10 | per tablet/unit | Generic |
| CEPHALEXIN 250 MG TABLET | $0.79 | per tablet/unit | Generic |
| CEPHALEXIN 250 MG/5 ML SUSP | $0.06 | per mL | Generic |
| CEPHALEXIN 500 MG CAPSULE | $0.12 | per tablet/unit | Generic |
| CEPHALEXIN 500 MG TABLET | $1.28 | per tablet/unit | Generic |
| CEPHALEXIN 750 MG CAPSULE | $4.95 | per tablet/unit | Generic |
Rough math: a typical 30-day supply of one tablet/day equals 30× the per-unit cost.
