St. John\'s Wort Coupon 2026 — Skip the Hunt, Pay $8 Cash

Less than you'd think. Coupon programs like GoodRx and SingleCare have published prices that look like discounts, but they're typically 40% off retail at best for St. John\'s Wort. Script Unlock's verified pharmacy bids regularly come in lower (~$8/mo) because pharmacies actively compete instead of accepting a fixed coupon rate.

Coupon prices change without notice — sometimes daily. The advertised St. John\'s Wort price may not match what the pharmacy charges at the register because GoodRx renegotiates with PBMs constantly. Script Unlock bids are locked once accepted, so the price you see is the price you pay.

Yes. GoodRx, SingleCare, and most coupon companies share or sell prescription, demographic, and behavioural data to pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), advertisers, and data brokers. This was confirmed in the 2023 FTC enforcement action against GoodRx. Script Unlock does not sell or share your prescription data.

Manufacturer coupons exist for some brand-name drugs but rarely for generics. They also typically exclude patients with government insurance (Medicare/Medicaid) and have annual savings caps. For St. John\'s Wort, a Script Unlock cash-pay bid almost always beats both manufacturer and third-party coupons.

Cash-pay through a competitive bidding marketplace. Upload your prescription to Script Unlock and verified US pharmacies bid against each other — current low bids for St. John\'s Wort start at $8/month. No coupons to clip, no expiration dates, no PBM middleman.

Without insurance, St. John\'s Wort costs between $8 and $13 per 30-day supply depending on the pharmacy. Cash prices vary widely — chain pharmacies typically charge 40–70% more than independent verified pharmacies. Using Script Unlock to compare live pharmacy prices, cash-pay patients typically pay around $8/month.

Each pharmacy sets its own cash price for St. John\'s Wort based on wholesale cost, PBM contracts, overhead, and local competition. Large chains often charge significantly more than independents for the same medication. Script Unlock creates real price competition by showing you cash prices from multiple verified pharmacies at once.

Yes. Generic Hypericum perforatum extract is FDA-approved and contains the identical active ingredient as brand-name St. John\'s Wort. Generics undergo the same bioequivalence testing and are held to identical manufacturing standards. Generic Hypericum perforatum extract typically costs 60–90% less than brand St. John\'s Wort.

No. St. John\'s Wort requires a valid prescription from a licensed prescriber (physician, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant) in the United States. Script Unlock connects you with verified pharmacies once you have a prescription — we cannot prescribe medication.

The cheapest pharmacy for St. John\'s Wort depends on your zip code and changes over time as pharmacies adjust prices. In our data, verified independent pharmacies typically offer the lowest cash prices — often 40–70% below chain retail. Costco and Walmart tend to be the cheapest chain options, though verified independents can still undercut them. Script Unlock shows live prices from multiple nearby pharmacies free — no account required.

Coverage for St. John\'s Wort depends on your specific insurance plan's formulary. Most commercial insurance and Medicare Part D plans cover generic Hypericum perforatum extract. Brand-name St. John\'s Wort may require prior authorization or be placed on a higher tier. Even when insurance covers St. John\'s Wort, the cash price via Script Unlock is sometimes lower than the insurance copay — always compare both.

GoodRx, SingleCare, and other coupon apps show pre-negotiated PBM prices. Pharmacies still make margin on those prices via PBM contracts. Script Unlock takes a different approach — real-time competition between verified pharmacies where they bid for your prescription. The result: cash prices typically 15–40% below coupon-app prices for the same medication at the same pharmacy chain.

Yes — provided the pharmacy is state-licensed and, ideally, LegitScript or NABP verified. All pharmacies on Script Unlock are US state-licensed and verified against federal exclusion lists. Independent pharmacies are held to the same regulatory standards as chain pharmacies — they simply have lower overhead and pass the savings to you.

Yes. Medicare patients can pay cash for St. John\'s Wort instead of using Part D when it's cheaper — and often it is. Cash prices via Script Unlock are frequently lower than Medicare Part D copays, especially in the coverage gap ("donut hole"). Note: cash purchases do not count toward Part D true out-of-pocket (TrOOP) totals, so factor that into your annual planning.

Yes. Pharmacy cash prices can change weekly based on wholesale cost fluctuations, PBM contract renegotiations, and local competition. Script Unlock refreshes verified pharmacy pricing regularly — so the price you see is the price you pay when you fill the prescription.

Mail-order can be convenient for 90-day maintenance supplies, but delivery time (5–10 business days) and shipping fees can offset savings. For urgent or short-term fills, local pharmacies via Script Unlock are typically faster and cost-competitive. Compare both — many patients use local for the first fill and mail-order for refills.

Manufacturer copay cards typically require commercial insurance (they don't work for Medicare, Medicaid, or cash-pay patients), have annual maximum benefits, and expire annually. For many patients, cash prices via Script Unlock are lower than what a copay card would deliver. Always compare cash price to copay-card price before using the card.

Search St. John\'s Wort on Script Unlock, choose the pharmacy with the price you want, and either transfer your prescription to that pharmacy or upload it directly. The pharmacy is contractually bound to honor the price shown. No coupon codes, no membership fees, no hidden costs.
