About Metronidazole Vaginal Gel, 0.75% and its cost

What is this medication? Metronidazole vaginal gel, 0.75%, is an antibiotic medication specifically prescribed to treat bacterial vaginosis in women. This condition occurs when there is an overgrowth of certain types of bacteria that are normally present in the vagina, leading to an imbalance. The medication belongs to a class of drugs known as nitroimidazoles and works by inhibiting the growth of these harmful bacteria, which helps to eliminate symptoms such as unusual discharge or odor and restores the natural microbial environment.

The gel is administered directly into the vagina using a specialized applicator, typically once or twice daily for a duration determined by a healthcare provider. It is essential to complete the entire course of the prescription even if symptoms resolve after only a few doses to prevent the infection from returning. While using this medication, patients are advised to avoid alcohol consumption to prevent a potential reaction that could cause nausea, flushing, or headaches.

Metronidazole Vaginal Gel, 0.75% 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 Metronidazole Vaginal Gel, 0.75%?

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 Metronidazole Vaginal Gel, 0.75%?

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 Metronidazole Vaginal Gel, 0.75%?

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 Herpes Simplex?

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.
