Frequently asked questions

What does Probenecid treat?

Probenecid (Probenecid) may be used to treat gonorrhea, gout, neurosyphilis, based on NIH RxClass drug-classification data (conditions a drug may treat — not a verbatim copy of the FDA-approved label). This is general reference, not medical advice.

How is Probenecid rated?

pharmaranks gives Probenecid a composite score of 3.4 out of 5, currently based on 1 weighted source (FDA regulatory recall-safety data weighted highest). See our methodology at /how-we-rate.

How much does Probenecid cost?

Nobody can tell you what you will pay — your price is set by your insurer's formulary, your deductible and the pharmacy's markup, and none of those are published. What IS published is what the pharmacy paid to acquire it: about $19.80 for 30, per the CMS NADAC survey. Treat that as the floor, not the quote — ask the pharmacist for the cash price as well as your copay, because for cheap generics the cash price often wins. Pharmacies pay less for a same-class option, Mitigare — about $3.90 on the same basis.

Is there a coupon or discount for Probenecid?

pharmaranks is an independent ratings site, not a pharmacy — we don't issue coupons or sell Probenecid. To pay less, Probenecid is already a generic — usually the lowest-cost version — so the main levers are comparing cash prices between pharmacies and using a pharmacy discount-card service. Prices vary by pharmacy, insurance, and location, so always confirm at the counter. This is general reference, not medical or financial advice.
