About Lidocaine Hydrochloride and Hydrocortisone Acetate and its cost

What is this medication? Lidocaine hydrochloride and hydrocortisone acetate is a combination prescription medication used primarily to relieve discomfort associated with inflammatory conditions of the rectal or anal area. Lidocaine functions as a local anesthetic that numbs the skin and surrounding tissues by blocking nerve signals, providing rapid relief from pain and soreness. Hydrocortisone is a corticosteroid that works by reducing inflammation, which helps to decrease swelling, redness, and persistent itching in the affected region. This medication is most frequently prescribed to treat symptoms caused by hemorrhoids, anal fissures, or proctitis. By combining a numbing agent with an anti-inflammatory steroid, the treatment addresses both the immediate sensation of pain and the underlying irritation that causes long-term discomfort. It is typically available in various topical forms, such as creams, gels, or suppositories, and should be used exactly as directed by a healthcare provider to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Lidocaine Hydrochloride and Hydrocortisone Acetate is made by Sandoz. 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 Lidocaine Hydrochloride and Hydrocortisone Acetate?

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 Lidocaine Hydrochloride and Hydrocortisone Acetate?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Lidocaine Hydrochloride and Hydrocortisone Acetate?

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 Hemorrhoids?

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.
