About Clotrimazole/Betameth and its cost
What is this medication? This combination medication is a topical treatment used to manage fungal skin infections that are accompanied by redness, itching, and swelling. It contains two active ingredients: clotrimazole, which is an antifungal agent that stops the growth of fungus, and betamethasone, a potent corticosteroid that reduces skin irritation and inflammation. Doctors typically prescribe it for conditions such as tinea pedis, also known as athletes foot, as well as jock itch and ringworm.
Because it contains a strong steroid, this cream should only be used as directed by a healthcare professional and is generally intended for short-term use. It is important to apply a thin layer only to the affected area and avoid covering it with airtight dressings unless instructed otherwise. Patients should avoid using this medication on the face or in sensitive skin folds for extended periods because the steroid component can cause skin thinning or other side effects if absorbed excessively through the skin.
Clotrimazole/Betameth is made by Organon. 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 Clotrimazole/Betameth?
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 Clotrimazole/Betameth?
No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But Organon has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.
Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Clotrimazole/Betameth?
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 your condition?
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.
