Sinus infections may warrant dosing three times daily, while skin infections could necessitate taking the drug four times daily. That expense breaks down to about $10 to $15 per day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike an oral regimen that is taken for a short period of time, topical clindamycin products are commonly administered for many months for their possible uses. A 75 mL bottle of clindamycin phosphate 1% gel, priced at $1,330, may last a month or longer depending on the size of the affected area of skin. If it only lasts one month, the daily expense is $40, and the annual cost is approximately $16,000.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How much an individual spends on clindamycin products will vary. The exact drug formulation, the specific pharmacy, and the dosage all make a difference.

The conditions that this antibiotic treats cannot be ignored, and as a result, finding a way to make it affordable is essential. Patient assistance programs, drug coupons, and savings cards through a pharmaceutical company are less available for generic drugs. Fortunately, there are a number of ways to save, including other sources of coupons and savings cards.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"1-singlecare-discount-card\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. SingleCare discount card<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription-discount-card\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SingleCare discount card<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is free, easy to obtain, and simple to use. Show it to your pharmacist to get a lower price on clindamycin. The card can also be used for other drug discounts.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"2-singlecare-clindamycin-coupon\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. SingleCare clindamycin coupon<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enter your zip code on the SingleCare clindamycin price page and compare the discounted cost at each local, participating pharmacy. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over 35,000 pharmacies<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> accept SingleCare coupons, so you will likely have a number of options. Select the coupon that best suits your needs in terms of price and location. Instead of spending $100 for a 10-day course of clindamycin 300 mg capsules, taken three times daily, the coupon could save over 90% by reducing the expense to $9.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"3-pharmacy-savings\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Pharmacy savings<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like other retail stores, different pharmacies have different prices for the same product. The discounted price on 30, 300 mg clindamycin capsules ranges from $9 to $34, meaning the cost can triple from one pharmacy to another.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"4-volume-discounts\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Volume discounts<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buying more at one time usually translates to a lower price per unit. Clindamycin phosphate 1% gel is commonly used for months to treat acne or rosacea. Instead of purchasing one 75 mL bottle for $260 with a SingleCare coupon, buying three for $750 produces a savings of $30 over the course of three months. Inquiring with the healthcare provider about writing a 90-day supply of clindamycin gel is a reasonable request.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"5-alternative-medications\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Alternative medications<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another question for the healthcare professional is whether alternative antibiotics could be cheaper, equally effective, and not have more side effects. For example, generic metronidazole 1% gel could be a less expensive treatment for rosacea by being priced $230 less per container than clindamycin phosphate 1% gel, with a SingleCare discount card or coupon. Sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim 800 mg-160 mg tablets are only $3 for a 1-week supply of 14 tablets when taken twice daily, compared to the $6 cost of 21 clindamycin 300 mg capsules taken three times daily for a week. If using topical clindamycin, discussing a different topical format, such as cream rather than gel, may lead to savings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Only your healthcare provider can determine if the alternatives can match the efficacy of clindamycin against bacterial infections. They would review your medical record for information on other health conditions and look out for any history of allergic reactions, past adverse effects, and drug interactions with other ongoing medications.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clindamycin is an antibiotic prescribed as an oral capsule for infectious diseases or in various topical forms for dermatologic conditions like acne and rosacea, and intravaginally for bacterial vaginosis.
