Common questions about Eucrisa’s cost

Here are some common questions and answers about Eucrisa.  

Are coupons available to lower the cost of Eucrisa ointment?

Yes. See the “Coupons” section to check potential savings on Eucrisa ointment with Optum Perks coupons.

Why does Eucrisa cost so much?

Eucrisa ointment is a brand-name medication. Brand-name drugs can be expensive because of the studies needed to test how safe and effective they are before they are approved for use.

Makers of a brand-name drug can patent and sell their drug for up to 20 years. When the patent for a brand-name drug expires, other drugmakers can make and sell generic versions.

Generic medications contain the same active ingredients as brand-name medications. So they don’t require the same testing, which can be costly. For this reason, generic drugs usually cost significantly less than brand-name medications like Eucrisa.

If you’d like to know more about the cost differences between brand-name and generic drugs, talk with your doctor or pharmacist.
