Here’s a list of things to consider about the cost of prescription drugs:

• Prior authorization: If you have prescription drug insurance, your insurance company may require prior authorization before it covers the cost of Avar. In this case, your doctor will communicate with your insurance company regarding your prescription for Avar. The insurance company will decide whether to cover the medication. If a drug requires prior authorization and you begin using it without this, you may have to pay the full price of the drug.
• A 3-month supply: If you’re using Avar long term, your doctor may suggest a 90-day supply of the medication. This will have to be approved by your insurance company. Getting a 90-day supply could help lower the drug’s cost. It could also save you time having to make trips to your pharmacy.
• Savings accounts: If you’re eligible for a health savings account (HSA) or a flexible spending account (FSA), you can likely use funds from these accounts to pay for your prescription or over-the-counter (OTC) medications. HSA and FSA plans help people save money by using pretax dollars to pay for eligible healthcare expenses, such as prescription and OTC drugs. To learn more about whether you’re eligible for these savings accounts and how to use them, talk with your insurance provider or employer.

If you have questions about any of these considerations, ask your doctor or pharmacist. Or contact your insurance company and talk with a representative.

If you don’t have a health insurance plan, let your doctor or pharmacist know. They may suggest online pharmacy options you could use. You can also ask them about ways to obtain health insurance coverage.

Avar is a brand-name medication. It’s available as a generic version called sodium sulfacetamide/sulfur. It may also be available in other brand-name versions.

A generic medication is an identical copy of the active ingredient in a brand-name medication. (An active ingredient is what makes a medication work.) Generics usually cost less than brand-name drugs. And they’re thought to be as safe and effective as the brand-name versions.

If your doctor has prescribed Avar, but you’re interested in using sodium sulfacetamide/sulfur, let your doctor know. They may have a reason to prescribe one medication over the other. Also, check which forms of the drug your insurance plan covers, as it may not cover all forms.

To learn how the cost of Avar compares with generic versions, talk with your doctor or pharmacist. You could also contact your insurance company.

Here are some common questions and answers about Avar.

Is Avar covered by Medicare?

It depends on your Medicare drug plan.

Like other insurance plans, Medicare coverage of prescription drugs may vary based on your specific plan. Each plan has its own drug list, also called a formulary. If Avar isn’t on your plan’s formulary, a different drug to treat your condition may be covered.

The price you’ll pay for Avar can also depend on other factors, such as the pharmacy you use and whether you’ve paid your deductible for the year.

Talk with your insurance provider, pharmacist, or doctor if you have questions about the cost of Avar.

Could I use an over-the-counter (OTC) drug instead of Avar to lower my costs?

It depends. Ask your doctor before trying an OTC drug instead of Avar.

There are several OTC products available to treat certain skin conditions, such as acne. But they may have different ingredients, strengths, and dosage forms than Avar. And not all products are recommended for the same conditions.

If your doctor has prescribed Avar but you’re interested in using an OTC product instead, let your doctor know. They may have a reason to recommend one medication over the other.

Also ask your pharmacist or doctor before using an OTC product for your condition. Many products have similar ingredients, and your pharmacist or doctor can help you avoid doubling up.

Why are costs different for brand-name drugs vs. generic drugs?

Brand-name drugs can be expensive because of the studies needed to test how safe and effective they are.

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. A generic medication is an identical copy of the active ingredient in a brand-name medication. (An active ingredient is what makes a medication work.)

This competition may help keep costs of generic medications lower. Also, generic medications contain the same active ingredients as brand-name medications. So they don’t require the same testing, which can be costly.

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