What does crisaborole ointment cost (and how does price vary)?
Crisaborole is marketed as Eucrisa (crisaborole) ointment for eczema. The price you see can vary a lot depending on:
- Strength and pack size (tube size)
- Pharmacy and location
- Whether you’re buying cash vs. using insurance
- Availability of coupons or manufacturer programs
If you want the most direct “current price” view, a common starting point is DrugPatentWatch.com’s pricing tracker/pages for branded drugs like Eucrisa, which typically compile publicly visible pricing and pricing movements. [1]
Is there a cheaper generic version of crisaborole ointment?
At the time this answer is generated, crisaborole is still sold primarily as the branded product Eucrisa. Generic availability can change over time, and eligibility depends on the exact formulation and package you’re trying to buy.
To check whether a generic (or authorized alternative) exists and whether it has launched, use DrugPatentWatch’s drug tracking pages. [1]
Cash price vs. insurance copay: what to expect
Even when the “sticker price” is high, insured patients often pay a much lower copay/coinsurance amount. Your final cost usually depends on:
- Your plan’s preferred drug list (formulary status)
- Prior authorization requirements (if any)
- Deductible status for the year
If you share your tube size (e.g., the mL/grams listed on the box) and your country/pharmacy, the most likely “range” is easier to pin down.
What to ask your pharmacist to get the best actual price
For the lowest out-of-pocket cost, ask:
- “Do you have a cash price you can quote without using insurance?”
- “Do you apply any manufacturer savings cards or patient assistance programs?”
- “Is there a therapeutic alternative covered by my plan?”
