The short answer
To check montelukast costs without insurance, request a pharmacy cash quote for your exact prescribed product and quantity, then compare eligible discount totals including fees. Selected pharmacy estimates, when available below, have their own check and expiry times. Your total depends on the exact product, pharmacy, quantity, insurance, and offer. The CMS numbers below are pharmacy acquisition benchmarks—not patient prices.

Listed products were marked in stock when checked. A displayed shipping total is for one medication; do not add it repeatedly when comparing a combined order. Delivery eligibility, taxes if applicable, and the final checkout amount must be confirmed with the pharmacy.
Product links open the pharmacy’s listing to confirm the offer. This selection excludes packaged bottles, granule boxes, and products whose quantity units we cannot safely match.

Before you compare Montelukast
Chewable tablets, tablets, and granule packets are different forms. The price of one form does not establish the price of another.
What to ask for when checking montelukast prices
Montelukast comes as tablets, chewable tablets, and granules. Include the form in every price request: a tablet offer does not tell you what a granule prescription will cost. Keep any brand requirement on your label in the request, too.
- Copy the strength and dosage form exactly. Do not select a cheaper-looking form as a substitute.
- For granules, confirm the number of packets in the quoted package. Ask whether a displayed quantity means packets or boxes.
- Request the full cash total and any eligible discount total for the same product and quantity.
- Confirm stock, pickup or shipping time, and fees before arranging a transfer.

Compare the whole fill, not a tablet with a packet
Keep one row per pharmacy in your notes, with the product description beside the total. If one quote uses 30 tablets and another uses a box of granules, resolve the mismatch before comparing dollars. RxCompare’s CMS table includes separate descriptions; its per-unit acquisition figures are not coupon offers.
If you have insurance, ask for the plan price separately. For an uninsured purchase, ask whether a quoted discount requires enrollment or a membership and whether that charge is already included.
Montelukast acquisition-cost reference
One representative NDC per description. Values retain five decimal places so low per-unit costs do not round to zero. EA means “each”; confirm the dispensing unit and package with your pharmacist.

Get a price for your prescription
- Match the label. Write down the full product name, strength, dosage form, and quantity. Ask the pharmacy about the package if you are unsure.
- Ask for separate totals. Get the cash price, insurance price, and any discount offer for the same fill.
- Include required fees. Add delivery or membership costs that are not already included in the quote.
- Compare and confirm. Use your actual quotes in the calculator and ask your plan about the effect on your benefit.
A question to bring to the counter
“Could you check the cash total and my insurance cost for my prescribed Montelukast, with the same strength, form, and quantity? Are there any extra fees, and is this the final price for this fill?”
Common questions
Does a montelukast tablet price apply to chewables or granules?
No. Request a quote for the prescribed strength, form, and quantity. Confirm packet and package counts with the pharmacy; do not change forms based on a price comparison.
How much does Montelukast cost without insurance?
Check the published pharmacy estimates above and request the final cash total for your prescribed strength, form, and quantity. The separate CMS table is an acquisition-cost reference, not an amount you can expect to pay.
Can I compare different Montelukast strengths?
Use the exact prescribed product for a fair price comparison. Do not change strength, form, or release type based on a benchmark; ask your clinician or pharmacist about medication changes.
Why is my pharmacy quote different from this table?
The table reports a dated national acquisition benchmark for one representative NDC per description. Your pharmacy may stock another package or manufacturer, and retail pricing includes more than acquisition cost.
