Lactulose: 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.

LACTULOSE 20 GM PACKET$8.19per tablet/unitGeneric
LACTULOSE 20 GM/30 ML SOLUTION CUP$0.05per mLGeneric

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