Expect to pay between $30 and $80 for a one-month supply of generic tretinoin cream, depending on the strength (concentration), quantity, and pharmacy. Higher concentrations generally cost more. Online pharmacies sometimes offer lower prices, but verify their legitimacy before purchasing. Always compare prices across different pharmacies, both online and brick-and-mortar.
Factors Influencing Price
Several factors affect the final price. Your insurance coverage plays a significant role; many plans partially or fully cover tretinoin. The pharmacy’s location and pricing policies also influence the cost. Generic brands vary slightly in price, so checking multiple brands is beneficial. Consider purchasing a larger quantity; you may receive a per-unit price discount.
Tips for Saving Money
Explore manufacturer coupons or pharmacy discount programs. Consider using a prescription savings card; these cards often negotiate lower prices with pharmacies. Ask your doctor about alternative formulations or strengths that might be more affordable. If you use tretinoin regularly, a longer-term prescription could save you money on recurring dispensing fees.
