About Sodium Sulfacetamide 9 Sulfur 4.5 Wash and its cost

What is this medication? Sodium sulfacetamide 9% and sulfur 4.5% wash is a prescription topical treatment primarily used to manage several common inflammatory skin conditions. Doctors frequently prescribe this medicated cleanser for the treatment of acne vulgaris, rosacea, and seborrheic dermatitis. It works by combining two active ingredients that address the underlying causes of skin redness, scaling, and breakouts, providing a therapeutic approach to cleansing the skin while reducing irritation and improving overall skin texture.

The medication functions through the dual action of its primary components to target skin issues at their source. Sodium sulfacetamide is a sulfonamide antibiotic that helps stop the growth of bacteria on the skin, while sulfur acts as a keratolytic agent to help shed dead skin cells and unclog pores. Together, these ingredients help to decrease redness and prevent the formation of new pimples or oily, scaly patches. Users typically apply the wash to the affected areas as directed by their healthcare provider, allowing the formula to remain on the skin briefly before rinsing it away with water.

Sodium Sulfacetamide 9 Sulfur 4.5 Wash is made by Medimetriks. 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 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 Sulfur 4.5 Wash?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Sodium Sulfacetamide 9 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 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.
