How much does ivermectin cream cost?
Prices for ivermectin (typically sold as a topical cream/lotion for conditions such as rosacea or scabies) vary a lot based on:
- Brand vs. generic availability
- Strength (for example, 1% cream vs. other formulations)
- Tube size (amount in grams)
- Where you buy it (US pharmacy vs. online vs. abroad)
- Whether you have insurance or a discount card
Because “ivermectin cream” can refer to different exact products and strengths, the most accurate way to price it is to check the specific product name (and concentration) you’re considering.
What product should you price—1% ivermectin cream or something else?
Common OTC/import listings may use different naming (cream vs. lotion) and may not match the exact drug/strength you need. If you share the exact label (for example, “ivermectin 1% cream” and the tube size in grams), the price you see is much easier to confirm.
Can insurance or discount cards change the cost a lot?
Yes. Out-of-pocket cost can swing widely depending on:
- Your plan’s formulary (whether it’s covered and at what tier)
- Prior authorization requirements (for some indications)
- Manufacturer coupons/discount programs (when available)
- Pharmacy pricing differences
If you tell me your country and whether you want the cash price or the insured/copay price, I can narrow down what to look for.

Quick question so I can give you a tighter estimate
What exactly does the package say (strength like “1%” and size like “15 g” or “30 g”), and what country are you in?
