Acyclovir cream cost without insurance?

Prices for acyclovir cream (5% topical) vary a lot by country, pharmacy, and tube size, and it’s a prescription medication in the U.S. Without insurance, here are rough US ranges:

- Brand name (Zovirax) 5% cream: roughly $60–$100+ for a small tube (about 2 g), sometimes more.
- Generic acyclovir 5% cream: roughly $30–$60 for a 2 g tube; larger tubes can be $60–$100+.

Prices can be higher or lower depending on location and the exact size.

Ways to reduce cost:
- Ask for the generic version if you’re not already getting it.
- Check cash prices at nearby pharmacies or use a discount card (GoodRx, manufacturer coupons).
- Compare prices at different chains or independent pharmacies.
- If cost is a barrier, talk with your prescriber about alternatives or a different regimen; sometimes cheaper options (like oral antivirals) may be appropriate depending on the condition.

If you tell me your country, city/state, and the tube size you’re considering, I can help you estimate a more precise cash price or suggest where to check.
