Qelbree costs $362-$525/month without insurance. Learn how to save with manufacturer coupons, discount cards, and patient assistance programs.
Qelbree (Viloxazine ER) is one of the newest non-stimulant ADHD medications on the market, and for many patients, it works well. But the price tag can be a shock. Without insurance, Qelbree costs between $362 and $525 per month for a 30-day supply — and there's no generic version available.
The good news? There are several legitimate ways to bring that cost down significantly. In this guide, we'll walk through every major savings option available in 2026, including manufacturer programs, discount cards, and patient assistance for those who qualify.
Let's start with the numbers. The retail (cash) price for Qelbree varies by pharmacy and dosage, but here's what you can generally expect in 2026:
Prices are similar across dosage strengths because the capsules are priced per unit, not by milligram. The average retail price is around $470, though this varies by pharmacy.
There is no generic Viloxazine extended-release available. The medication is patented by Supernus Pharmaceuticals, and generic versions are not expected until at least 2033-2035. So for now, you're paying brand-name prices regardless.
The single best savings tool for most commercially insured patients is the Supernus Qelbree Savings Card.

If you have commercial insurance, this should be your first stop. Going from a $50-$100 copay down to $20 can make a huge difference over the course of a year.
If you don't have insurance — or if your insurance doesn't cover Qelbree — prescription discount cards can help reduce the cash price. These are free to use and accepted at most pharmacies.
GoodRx typically offers Qelbree for around $362-$470 depending on the pharmacy. That's roughly a 15-25% discount off the full retail price.
SingleCare offers similar discounts, with prices around $400-$525 for Qelbree. Available at most major pharmacy chains.
Several other discount card programs may offer savings on Qelbree:
It's worth checking 2-3 of these before filling your prescription, as prices can vary significantly between programs and pharmacies.
Important note: Discount cards cannot be combined with insurance. You use one or the other at the pharmacy. If your insurance copay is higher than the discount card price (rare for Qelbree, but possible), the pharmacist can run it through the discount card instead.
If you're uninsured, underinsured, or facing financial hardship, patient assistance programs may be able to provide Qelbree at reduced cost or even free.
Supernus Pharmaceuticals offers a patient assistance program (PAP) for eligible patients who cannot afford their medication. The program is administered by PharmaCord.
NeedyMeds.org maintains a database of assistance programs for Qelbree and hundreds of other medications. They can help you find:
SimpleFill is a service that helps patients connect with prescription assistance programs. They handle the application process and can help you navigate the options for Qelbree.
RxAssist.org is another comprehensive database of patient assistance programs, including those that cover ADHD medications.
If your insurance covers Qelbree, using a mail-order pharmacy may reduce your per-fill cost. Many plans offer 90-day supplies through mail order at a lower copay than three separate 30-day fills at a retail pharmacy. Check with your insurance plan for details.
Your prescriber may have Qelbree samples available from Supernus representatives. Samples can help you start treatment immediately while you work through insurance approval or savings card enrollment. They're also useful for determining if the medication works for you before committing to a full prescription.
Don't assume all pharmacies charge the same price. Cash prices for Qelbree can vary by $100 or more between pharmacies in the same area. Use Medfinder to find pharmacies with Qelbree in stock, and then compare prices using GoodRx or SingleCare before filling.
If you're choosing an insurance plan during open enrollment, check whether Qelbree is on the plan's formulary. Plans that cover Qelbree — even with prior authorization — will typically result in lower out-of-pocket costs than paying cash, especially when combined with the manufacturer savings card.
Here's a snapshot of what you might pay for Qelbree through different channels:
Qelbree is an expensive medication, but you don't necessarily have to pay full price. The manufacturer savings card alone can bring the cost down to $20/month for commercially insured patients. For those without insurance, patient assistance programs through Supernus, NeedyMeds, and SimpleFill can help.
Start by checking if you qualify for the Supernus Savings Card at qelbree.com. If you don't have commercial insurance, explore the patient assistance programs listed above. And always compare pharmacy prices — the difference can be significant.
