Shortage status

Whether the FDA lists this drug as in short supply.

Not on the FDA shortage list as of Nov 10, 2026.

The list changes daily, and it covers the national supply. A pharmacy near you can be out of a drug that is not listed, or have one that is. See today's status.

02

What pharmacies pay

The national average price retail pharmacies pay to buy it (NADAC).

Product as surveyedTypePharmacy paysFor 30Price since

ELIQUIS 5 MG TABLETBrand$5.52 per each$165.64Oct 21, 2026

This is not your price. NADAC is the national average that retail pharmacies pay to buy the drug, from the Medicaid survey for the week of Nov 11, 2026. What you pay adds the pharmacy's markup and dispensing fee and depends on your insurance or any discount card. "For 30" is shown only for products priced per tablet or capsule. Brand prices here are before any rebates.

03

What Medicare spends

Medicare Part D spending by product, from the latest annual file (2024).

In 2024, Medicare Part D plans and their members paid $20.77 billion for the 1 product below. That is up 109% from $9.94 billion in 2020.

Spending is the gross amount paid at the pharmacy by Part D plans and patients, before manufacturer rebates, which can be large for brand drugs. The same person can use more than one product, so people are not added up across rows. A dash means the file suppresses a small number or has no figure for that year.
