About Sodium Sulfacetamide 10 Sulfur 5 Cleanser and its cost

What is this medication? Sodium Sulfacetamide 10 Sulfur 5 Cleanser is a prescription topical treatment used to address skin concerns including acne vulgaris, acne rosacea, and seborrheic dermatitis. This combination medication works by reducing the inflammation and redness associated with these conditions while treating the underlying causes of skin irritation. It is typically used as a wash or cleanser as part of a daily skincare routine to help maintain clearer skin. The medication contains sodium sulfacetamide, which serves as an antibacterial agent to stop the growth of bacteria that can lead to infections and breakouts. The sulfur component acts as a keratolytic agent, which helps to dry out the skin and promote the shedding of dead skin cells that can clog pores. By combining these two actions, the cleanser helps to improve skin texture and reduce the occurrence of lesions and scaly patches.

Sodium Sulfacetamide 10 Sulfur 5 Cleanser is made by Bausch. 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 Sodium Sulfacetamide 10 Sulfur 5 Cleanser?

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 Sodium Sulfacetamide 10 Sulfur 5 Cleanser?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Sodium Sulfacetamide 10 Sulfur 5 Cleanser?

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.
