About Sodium Sulfacetamide 9% and Sulfur 4.5% Cleanser and its cost

What is this medication? Sodium Sulfacetamide 9% and Sulfur 4.5% Cleanser is a prescription topical treatment used primarily to manage skin conditions such as acne vulgaris, acne rosacea, and seborrheic dermatitis. This medication combines two active ingredients that work together to improve the appearance and health of the skin. Sodium sulfacetamide acts as an antibacterial agent that stops the growth of bacteria that contribute to acne, while sulfur helps to dry out the skin and promote the shedding of dead skin cells that can clog pores. Beyond its antibacterial properties, this cleanser helps to reduce redness, inflammation, and oiliness associated with various skin disorders. It is often prescribed when over-the-counter treatments have failed to provide adequate relief for persistent breakouts or flaky skin patches. Patients typically use it as a daily wash to keep the skin clear and prevent new lesions from forming, though it is important to follow specific medical guidance regarding application frequency and potential side effects like mild irritation or a distinct sulfur scent.

Sodium Sulfacetamide 9% and Sulfur 4.5% Cleanser is made by Medimetriks Pharmaceuticals. 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 9% and Sulfur 4.5% 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 9% and Sulfur 4.5% Cleanser?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Sodium Sulfacetamide 9% and Sulfur 4.5% 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.
