About CLINDAMYCIN AND BENZOYL PEROXIDE and its cost

What is this medication? Clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide is a prescription combination topical medication primarily used to treat inflammatory acne vulgaris. It contains two active ingredients that work together to reduce the severity of skin breakouts. Clindamycin is an antibiotic that stops the growth of acne-causing bacteria, while benzoyl peroxide acts as an antimicrobial agent that also helps keep pores clear by drying the skin and promoting the shedding of dead skin cells.

This medication is typically applied to the affected areas as a gel or lotion once or twice daily as directed by a healthcare professional. By combining these two treatments, the medication effectively reduces redness and inflammation while preventing new pimples from forming. It is often prescribed when over-the-counter treatments are insufficient for managing moderate to severe acne, helping to improve the overall appearance of the skin over several weeks of consistent use.

CLINDAMYCIN AND BENZOYL PEROXIDE is made by Bausch Health. Like most brand-name drugs, it's priced at a high list price — but patients rarely pay that list price. The options above are the real paths most people use to get it affordably.

Common questions

What's the cheapest way to afford CLINDAMYCIN AND BENZOYL PEROXIDE?

It depends on your insurance. On Medicare, apply for the manufacturer's Patient Assistance Program (PAP) — it gives the drug free if you meet income requirements. With private insurance, the manufacturer copay card usually drops your copay to $0-$25. Uninsured patients should compare the PAP with Cost Plus Drugs cash price.

Can I use a copay card with Medicare for CLINDAMYCIN AND BENZOYL PEROXIDE?

No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But Bausch Health has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover CLINDAMYCIN AND BENZOYL PEROXIDE?

Part D coverage varies by plan. We query the CMS Prescription Drug Plan file to show you what percentage of plans cover it and at what tier. For your exact copay, pick "Medicare" above and check your plan's Summary of Benefits, or log in to Medicare.gov.

How long does a Patient Assistance Program take?

Most PAPs take 2-6 weeks from application to first fill. Ask the manufacturer about a "bridge supply" — many will ship 30 days free while your application is being reviewed so you don't go without the drug.

What if I have a high-deductible plan?

For generics, Cost Plus Drugs cash price is often cheaper than your deductible-phase copay. For brand names, the manufacturer copay card almost always wins. A GoodRx coupon can be a last resort for uncovered drugs, but it doesn't count toward your deductible.

Are there charity grants for Acne?

Charities like HealthWell Foundation, PAN Foundation, Good Days, and the National Organization for Rare Disorders provide copay help for specific conditions. Funds often run out mid-year — apply early. We list the specific grants for your condition in the options above.
