Guaifenesin: 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 & strengthPharmacy costUnitType
GUAIFENESIN 100 MG/5 ML SOLN$0.01per mLOTC
GUAIFENESIN 200 MG TABLET$0.03per tablet/unitOTC
GUAIFENESIN 400 MG TABLET$0.07per tablet/unitOTC
GUAIFENESIN ER 1,200 MG TABLET$0.44per tablet/unitOTC
GUAIFENESIN ER 600 MG TABLET$0.29per tablet/unitOTC

Rough math: a typical 30-day supply of one tablet/day equals 30× the per-unit cost.
