How much does bacitracin/polymyxin B cost at the pharmacy?
Prices for bacitracin + polymyxin B products vary a lot by:
- Form (topical ointment vs. generic vs. combination branded products)
- Strength/concentration and pack size
- Location and pharmacy (and whether a store brand is available)
I don’t have pricing details in the information provided here, so I can’t give an exact cost.
What’s the main cost driver: brand vs. generic, ointment size, and formulation?
Most bacitracin/polymyxin B products are widely available as generics, which typically lowers the price compared with branded versions. Total cost usually tracks with the tube size (for ointments) and whether you’re buying a single ingredient vs. the combination.

Can insurance or cash prices change a lot?
Yes. Many pharmacies quote different prices depending on:
- Whether you’re using insurance
- Your plan’s formulary tier (if covered)
- Whether you buy with a cash discount program
If you tell me the exact product (ointment vs. drops, concentration/strength, and the tube size in grams) and your ZIP code, I can help you narrow down what you should expect to pay and what to compare.
