What does Effer-K cost?

This is a question we get frequently.... what does Effer-K (potassium citrate) cost? Most people assume that since Effer-K 10 and 20 mEq are new drugs the cost will be quite high. But that is simply not true. Effer-K is pretty inexpensive. Patients pay about $15 for a one month supply.

Another question we frequently get asked is if Effer-K is covered by insurance plans. It is covered by many insurance plans. However - sometimes the cost of Effer-K is less than a patient's copay - so it is cheaper to just pay for it outright.

Effer-K is stocked by all the major pharmacy wholesalers - so any pharmacist should be able to easily order it.
