Summary: Best Ways to Save on Metolazone

Metolazone can cost $60–$85 retail without insurance. Learn how to use GoodRx, SingleCare, and other programs to pay as little as $10 for a 30-day supply.

Metolazone is a generic medication, which means it's already much cheaper than it was when sold under brand names like Zaroxolyn. But even generics can be surprisingly expensive at retail prices — up to $85 for a 30-day supply without insurance. The good news: with the right discount programs, you can pay as little as $10–$14 per month. Here's how.

What Does Metolazone Cost Without Insurance?

The retail (cash) price for metolazone varies by pharmacy and dosage strength:

Metolazone 2.5 mg (100 tablets): ~$58–$65 retail

Metolazone 5 mg (30 tablets): ~$60–$75 retail

Metolazone 10 mg (100 tablets): ~$89–$100 retail

These prices are for standard retail — what you'd pay at the counter without any discount program or insurance. Almost no one actually needs to pay full retail for metolazone.

GoodRx: The Easiest Way to Cut the Price

GoodRx is a free-to-use coupon service that can slash the retail price of metolazone by 80% or more. According to GoodRx, you can get metolazone for as low as $11.92 for a 30-day supply — compared to a retail average of $67.61. GoodRx Gold members can pay as little as $10.10.

How to use GoodRx:

Go to GoodRx.com or download the GoodRx app

Search for "metolazone" and your dosage

Enter your ZIP code to see prices at nearby pharmacies

Print or show the coupon to your pharmacist at pickup — no sign-up required for basic coupons

SingleCare: Another Strong Option

SingleCare is a competing discount coupon program that offers metolazone for around $13.68. Like GoodRx, it's free to use (no subscription required for basic access). You can compare prices at SingleCare.com to see which program gives you the best rate at your preferred pharmacy.

RxSaver, WellRx, and Other Coupon Sites

Prices vary by pharmacy and program. Always compare multiple coupon services before you fill your prescription. Apps like Blink Health, RxSaver, and WellRx may offer competitive rates at specific pharmacies in your area. Prices can fluctuate — what's cheapest today might not be cheapest next month.

Insurance Coverage for Metolazone

Metolazone is covered by most Medicare Part D plans and commercial insurance plans. It's typically placed on Tier 2 of the formulary, which generally means a $5–$20 copay for generic drugs. However:

Some plans require prior authorization before covering metolazone — your doctor's office would need to complete PA paperwork

Step therapy may apply on some plans, meaning your insurer wants you to try HCTZ or another thiazide first before covering metolazone

Check your plan's formulary (drug list) to confirm tier and coverage rules

Important: You cannot use GoodRx or other coupon programs simultaneously with insurance at the same pharmacy visit. Always compare what you'd pay with insurance vs. with a coupon to find the lower price.

Patient Assistance Programs

Since metolazone is only available as a generic (all brand names have been discontinued), there are no manufacturer-sponsored patient assistance programs (PAPs) for it. However:

Prescription Hope offers access to Zaroxolyn (metolazone) through its medication access service for a set price of $70/month — though with GoodRx often available for under $15, compare prices before enrolling.

NeedyMeds and RxAssist are free databases that list available assistance programs for various drugs — worth checking if you have very low income and no insurance.

Save More with a 90-Day Supply

Many pharmacies and discount programs offer a lower per-day price when you fill a 90-day supply instead of a 30-day supply. If you're on stable long-term metolazone therapy, ask your doctor to prescribe a 90-day supply. This reduces both your cost and the number of pharmacy trips needed.

Summary: Best Ways to Save on Metolazone

Use GoodRx: As low as $11.92 for a 30-day supply (retail of ~$67 without coupon)

Use SingleCare or other apps: Compare prices to find lowest at your nearest pharmacy

Check your insurance: Tier 2 copays can be $0–$20 with most plans

Try 90-day mail-order: Often the lowest per-pill price with stable supply

Frequently Asked Questions

With GoodRx, metolazone can cost as little as $11.92 for a 30-day supply of 5 mg tablets — compared to the average retail price of $67.61. GoodRx Gold members may pay as little as $10.10.

Yes. Metolazone is covered by most Medicare Part D prescription drug plans, typically on Tier 2 of the formulary. This generally means a copay of $5–$20. Some plans may require prior authorization. Check your plan's formulary or call your plan's member services to confirm your specific copay.

No manufacturer-sponsored patient assistance program exists for metolazone because all brand-name versions (Zaroxolyn, Mykrox, Diulo) have been discontinued. However, free discount coupons from GoodRx and SingleCare typically reduce the price to $10–$15 for a 30-day supply, which is comparable to or better than many PAP savings.

You cannot use GoodRx and your insurance simultaneously at the same pharmacy visit — you must choose one. Compare your insurance copay against the GoodRx coupon price to determine which is lower. For many patients, the GoodRx cash price may actually be lower than their Tier 2 insurance copay.

Often yes. Mail-order pharmacies frequently offer a 90-day supply at the equivalent of 2 months' cost (a one-month savings). With insurance, 90-day mail-order supplies often have reduced copays. Ask your doctor to write a 90-day prescription if you're on stable long-term metolazone therapy.
