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

What is this medication? Sodium sulfacetamide 9% and sulfur 4.5% wash is a prescription topical medication designed to treat common skin inflammatory conditions such as acne, rosacea, and seborrheic dermatitis. This cleanser combines an antibacterial agent that stops the growth of bacteria with a keratolytic agent that helps to shed the outer layer of skin. By performing these dual actions, the medication reduces redness, minimizes the formation of pimples, and helps to control the scales or crusting associated with certain skin conditions. The treatment is typically used as a medicated wash during a daily cleansing routine where it is applied to the skin, allowed to sit briefly, and then thoroughly rinsed away. It works to dry out affected areas and remove excess oils that can lead to clogged pores and further irritation. Because the formula contains sulfur, it may have a noticeable smell and can cause mild skin dryness or peeling as the treatment takes effect. Patients are advised to follow specific instructions from their doctor regarding the frequency of application to achieve the best results while managing potential side effects.

Sodium Sulfacetamide 9% and Sulfur 4.5% Wash is made by Medimetriks Pharmaceuticals, Inc.. 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% Wash?

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% Wash?

No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But Medimetriks Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 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% Wash?

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 Acne?

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.
