About ZORYVE and its cost

What is this medication? ZORYVE is a prescription topical medication used to treat several inflammatory skin conditions in adults and children. It is a steroid-free cream or foam that contains the active ingredient roflumilast, which belongs to a class of drugs known as phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitors. This medication is primarily prescribed for the treatment of plaque psoriasis, including sensitive areas like skin folds, as well as seborrheic dermatitis and atopic dermatitis. By targeting specific enzymes in the body that cause inflammation, it helps to clear skin plaques, reduce redness, and alleviate itching.

Unlike many traditional treatments for these conditions, ZORYVE does not contain corticosteroids, making it suitable for long-term use and application on delicate skin areas such as the face or neck. The medication works by blocking the PDE4 enzyme, which plays a key role in the overactive immune response that leads to skin irritation and thickening. Patients typically apply it once daily to the affected areas as directed by their healthcare provider to manage symptoms and improve the overall appearance and health of their skin.

ZORYVE is made by Arcutis. 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 ZORYVE?

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 ZORYVE?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover ZORYVE?

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.
