Frequently asked questions
What's the cash price for Acitretin in the US?
At the US pharmacies in our data, the lowest listed discount-card price for Acitretin is around $75.63. Prices vary by pharmacy, dosage, and pack size, so use the table above to compare specific options near you.
Can I buy Acitretin at a Cost Plus Drugs price?
Yes — Cost Plus Drugs lists Acitretin at roughly $1.14 per unit, a published price with no membership card or coupon involved. See the three-price comparison above for how that stacks up against discount-card pharmacies.
How much does Acitretin cost in Canada?
Canadian pharmacy listings in our data show Acitretin priced from about $1.02 per tablet (converted to USD), before shipping. Pack size and pharmacy both affect the final total — see the Canada pricing table for specifics.
Why does Acitretin cost more in one country than the other?
Drug pricing is set separately in each country through different negotiation, regulatory, and distribution systems, so the same medication can legitimately carry different price tags on either side of the border. In this case, our data shows the Canadian price coming in lower — but that isn't true for every drug, so it's worth checking each medication individually rather than assuming.
What determines the cost of Acitretin with insurance?
The amount you pay for Acitretin with insurance depends entirely on your specific health plan's formulary, deductible, and copay structure. Your pharmacist can provide the exact price after running your insurance. In some cases, a pharmacy discount card may offer a price lower than your insurance copay, so comparing both options at the pharmacy counter is worthwhile.
Is Acitretin covered by Medicare, and what is the cost?
Acitretin is generally covered under Medicare Part D prescription drug plans and Medicare Advantage plans that include drug coverage. The out-of-pocket cost for a beneficiary varies based on the plan's specific coverage phase (deductible, initial coverage, etc.). Savings through pharmacy discount programs are also available and may provide an alternative way to manage the medication's cost.
What are the brand-name versions of Acitretin?
Acitretin is the generic name for the medication. It was originally marketed under the brand names Soriatane and Soriatane CK.
