Different insurance means different laws and different savings. For example, Medicare patients cannot use manufacturer copay cards (federal law) — but the manufacturer almost always has a Patient Assistance Program that gives the drug free.

About Eucrisa and its cost

What is this medication? Eucrisa is a prescription topical ointment used to treat mild-to-moderate atopic dermatitis, which is the most common form of eczema. Unlike many traditional treatments for this condition, Eucrisa is a non-steroidal medication, meaning it does not contain corticosteroids. It works by inhibiting an enzyme in the skin called phosphodiesterase 4, or PDE4. By blocking this enzyme, the medication helps to decrease the overactive inflammatory response that leads to the red, itchy, and scaly patches typically associated with eczema.

This medication is approved for use in both adults and pediatric patients as young as three months of age. It is typically applied as a thin layer to the affected areas of the skin twice every day. Because it is steroid-free, it is often considered for use on sensitive skin areas where long-term steroid use might be a concern. Common side effects may include a temporary stinging or burning sensation at the application site, but the overall goal of the treatment is to provide relief from the persistent symptoms of atopic dermatitis.

Eucrisa is made by Pfizer. 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 Eucrisa?

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 Eucrisa?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Eucrisa?

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 Dermatitis?

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.
