Buying from a pharmacy outside the U.S.? Read Is it safe to order Apremilast from Canada?

90-day cost = 180 tablets at the usual dose of 2 a day, bought as one order of whole packs with one shipping fee. 90-day cost is worked out from each pharmacy's real order size so different pack sizes compare fairly. Orders are kept within a 3-month supply (92 days); a pack that is larger than that is marked and not used for the lowest price at the top of this page. Prices checked Nov 11, 2026 on each pharmacy's website, in U.S. dollars. Savings compare with the U.S. list price. The lowest price at the top of this page uses only packs whose maker the pharmacy names, or whose product country and ships-from country it states. Price is the pharmacy's own price for one pack, as shown on its website (converted to U.S. dollars when it prices in Canadian dollars). Delivery is the pharmacy's own estimate for the shipping option shown, not a promise; some pharmacies count from when they receive your prescription or ship the order. Total = the packs needed + shipping. When those packs don't add up to exactly 90 days, the row shows what that order costs and, under it, what it works out to for 90 days; we sort by the 90-day amount so pack sizes compare fairly. Prices change often; confirm at checkout. “Fee not published” means the pharmacy doesn’t show its shipping fee before checkout, so that row’s total is the medicine price only.

Savings programs from the maker

How do you pay?

We show the programs that usually fit, cheapest first where we know the price. Private insurance means a plan through work or one you buy yourself. Programs set their own rules, so check the terms before you count on one. We don't save this choice.

eDrugSearch does not offer its own Apremilast coupons. Maker savings and assistance programs are for brand Otezla only, not generic apremilast from abroad (see the Otezla page). eDrugSearch has no coupons of its own. These programs can lower prescription costs if you have Medicare:

  • Medicare Extra Help: if you have Medicare and limited income, Extra Help lowers what you pay for prescriptions. (Social Security)
  • Medicare Prescription Payment Plan: a free Medicare option that spreads your drug costs into monthly payments across the year. It doesn't lower the total, but it can make costs easier to manage. (Medicare.gov)

When people choose brand Otezla

Some people get brand Otezla instead of generic apremilast. Common reasons:

  • In the U.S., apremilast is sold only as brand Otezla. The Otezla page shows U.S. prices, prices abroad and the maker's savings programs.
  • Some insurance and Medicare drug plans cover brand Otezla. Your plan's drug list shows whether it does and what you pay.

Your prescriber decides which medicine is right for you.
