What is Penlac, and how much does it cost?
Penlac is a brand of ciclopirox (ciclopirox nail lacquer) used for fungal nail infections. The exact price depends on the country, the pharmacy, and the pack size (for example, bottle size). Without your location and the bottle size you’re considering, the cost can’t be stated precisely.
Why does the Penlac price vary so much?
Penlac pricing commonly changes based on:
- Form and strength (nail lacquer vs. other ciclopirox products)
- Bottle size (single vs. multiple bottles)
- Whether it’s filled as a brand product or replaced with a generic
- Insurance coverage (copay vs. full cash price)
- Pharmacy pricing/discounts (including online vs. local pharmacies)
Is there a cheaper generic alternative?
In many markets, ciclopirox nail lacquer may be available as a generic, which is often less expensive than the brand Penlac. If you’re trying to reduce cost, asking your pharmacist whether there is a generic ciclopirox 8% nail lacquer available for the same regimen can lower the price.
How to get the best price quickly
