Clindesse Patient Savings Program

Savings card from Padagis Israel Pharmaceuticals

No insurance · from $25 a dose

Insurance · as little as $25 a dose

The card takes up to $70 a dose off your co-pay.

In the maker’s words

“Eligible patients will pay the first $25 and receive up to $70 off the patient’s co-pay or out-of-pocket expenses.”

From the maker’s offer on clindesse.com, checked November 2, 2026. Co-pay cards can’t be used with Medicare (including Medicare Advantage), Medicaid, TRICARE or VA.

Maker’s card or discount card?

A discount card like GoodRx lowers the pharmacy’s cash price, but for a brand-name drug that price often stays high. Compare it with the maker’s price above. You can usually use one or the other on a fill, not both.

Brand nameWith a free discount coupon

Optum Perks, Optum’s free discount coupon, lists these prices for Clindesse without insurance. Show the coupon from its page at the pharmacy; it can’t be used with insurance.

Pick up in store: Walgreens $154Cream, 5gm of 2pct, 1 Tube
Pick up in store: CVS Pharmacy $170Cream, 5gm of 2pct, 1 Tube

From Optum Perks, read November 2, 2026, with no location set. Its page opens on this dose; other doses and pharmacies near you are priced there too. With insurance, check your co-pay first: it may be lower.

Authorized genericNot sold

There isn’t one. An authorized generic is Clindesse itself, from the same company, sold without the brand name, and usually for less. For now Clindesse is the only choice; its maker’s savings card can lower what you pay.

Regular genericNot sold

Sold only in a different form, strength or formula. Switching to one would need a new prescription, so ask your prescriber whether it could work for you. Generics usually come once the brand’s patents and exclusivity end. Until then, the maker’s savings card is the way to pay less.

Good to know

“Commercial insurance” means a plan from a job, from the marketplace, or one you buy yourself. A retiree plan that’s part of Medicare counts as Medicare. Co-pay cards can’t be used with Medicare (including Medicare Advantage), Medicaid, TRICARE or VA.
Most cards need a sign-up on the maker’s site, and many work only if your plan covers the drug. Then give the card’s details to your pharmacy.
Don’t stop or change a medicine without talking to your pharmacist or prescriber.
