Why Botox prices vary
There's no single price for Botox. What you pay depends on your insurance plan and deductible, the pharmacy you use, your dosage, and whether you use a manufacturer copay card or a pharmacy discount card. Without insurance, brand-name neurology medications like Botox from AbbVie can be costly, so it pays to compare your options before filling the prescription.
