Dapsone 7.5% gel pump price?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for Dapsone

I’m not able to pull the current retail price for a specific drug product in real time, but I can give you a quick rundown of what you might expect and how to find the exact number for your location.


1. What is Dapsone 7.5 % Gel?

  • Indications: Topical dapsone is approved mainly for treating dermatitis herpetiformis (an itchy, blister‑forming skin condition associated with celiac disease) and sometimes for other inflammatory skin disorders (e.g., atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, or post‑surgical scars).
  • Form & Strength: 7.5 % (w/w) gel in a pump‑filled bottle. The pump mechanism makes it convenient for precise, controlled application.
  • Typical bottle sizes: 1.75 oz (52 mL), 2.5 oz (74 mL), or 4 oz (118 mL). The price usually scales with bottle volume.

2. Rough Price Ranges (US)

Bottle size Typical retail price (approx.)
1.75 oz $50 – $90
2.5 oz $70 – $120
4 oz $90 – $180

Disclaimer: These are ballpark figures drawn from a handful of online pharmacy listings and can fluctuate by pharmacy, state, and insurance coverage. Prices can be higher or lower depending on the manufacturer’s brand name (e.g., Dermatix vs. a generic) and whether you’re buying in bulk or as a single unit.


3. Factors that Influence the Final Cost

Factor Why it matters
Brand vs. Generic Brand‑name products often carry a premium. Generic versions—if available—can be 30‑50 % cheaper.
Insurance/Prescription Coverage Many insurers will cover topical dapsone if it’s the recommended therapy. Your copay could be as low as $10–$30 per bottle.
Retail Channel Large chain pharmacies, specialty compounding pharmacies, or online retailers (e.g., Walgreens, CVS, GoodRx) will price differently.
Regional Availability Some regions may not stock the gel form at all, forcing you to pay more for shipping or to use an alternative product.
Coupon & Discount Programs Sites like GoodRx or RxSaver sometimes provide coupons that cut the out‑of‑pocket cost dramatically.

4. How to Get the Exact Price

  1. Ask Your Prescriber
    They can write a prescription that is filled at a pharmacy of your choice, where you’ll see the exact out‑of‑pocket cost.

  2. Check Major Pharmacy Chains
    Online portals (Walgreens.com, CVS.com, RiteAid.com) let you enter the drug name and bottle size to see the listed price and any applicable coupons.

  3. Use Coupon Sites
    GoodRx, RxSaver, BlinkHealth, or SingleCare often list the lowest price at a range of pharmacies. Simply type “dapsone 7.5% gel” and your ZIP code.

  4. Ask a Compounding Pharmacy
    If you’re looking for a larger volume or a different pump size, a compounding pharmacy may offer a custom formulation at a competitive price. Compounding costs typically start around $1–$2 per mL, so a 4‑oz bottle (≈118 mL) could be $120–$180.

  5. Check for Generic Options
    Some manufacturers produce a 7.5 % dapsone gel under a generic name (e.g., “Dapsone Gel 7.5 %”). Generics are often priced lower; check for a “generic” label on the bottle.


5. Quick Checklist Before You Buy

  • Is the bottle size you need (1.75 oz, 2.5 oz, 4 oz)?
  • Do you have a prescription or will you need one?
  • What insurance plan do you have?
  • Have you compared prices across at least 3 pharmacies?
  • Are there any discount programs or coupons you can apply?

Bottom Line

While I can’t give you a precise figure right now, a 7.5 % dapsone gel pump in the U.S. typically ranges from $50 to $180 depending on bottle size, brand, and pharmacy. For the most accurate price, plug the bottle size into a price‑comparison site (GoodRx, RxSaver) or call a local pharmacy with the exact product name and ask for the patient cost.
