Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a standard antibiotic course cost at ScriptUnlock pharmacies?
Common generic antibiotics like amoxicillin or doxycycline are typically $5–$20 for a 10-day course. ScriptUnlock bids regularly surface prices at or below $10.
Is azithromycin (Z-Pack) expensive without insurance?
Generic azithromycin 5-day packs are usually $15–$30 retail. ScriptUnlock bids frequently show $8–$12. Avoid using leftover antibiotics — always complete the full prescribed course.
Can I get antibiotics without a prescription through ScriptUnlock?
No. All antibiotics require a valid prescription. Inappropriate antibiotic use contributes to resistance. ScriptUnlock helps with price after your prescriber has determined the right treatment.
Why is Augmentin more expensive than plain amoxicillin?
Augmentin combines amoxicillin with clavulanate (a beta-lactamase inhibitor), expanding its spectrum. The combination formulation costs more to manufacture, reflecting in its higher retail price.
Are specialty antibiotics like vancomycin available on ScriptUnlock?
ScriptUnlock covers a broad formulary. Oral vancomycin and other specialty agents are listed. Intravenous antibiotics typically require specialty pharmacy dispensing, which is also supported.
