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.

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)

What is Apremilast used for?
Apremilast is the active ingredient in Otezla. Otezla (apremilast) is a phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor taken by mouth. According to its FDA label (DailyMed), it is used to treat:
- Active psoriatic arthritis in adults, and in children 6 years and older who weigh at least 20 kg (44 lb).
- Plaque psoriasis in adults who are candidates for phototherapy or systemic therapy.
- Moderate to severe plaque psoriasis in children 6 years and older who weigh at least 20 kg (44 lb) and are candidates for phototherapy or systemic therapy.
- Mouth ulcers caused by Behçet's disease in adults.
Otezla comes as 10 mg, 20 mg and 30 mg tablets, taken twice a day after a 5-day starting schedule. Otezla XR is a 75 mg extended-release tablet taken once a day. Your prescriber decides which medicine is right for you.
Is it safe to order Apremilast from Canada?
Many Americans do, but U.S. law and customs rules apply. Federal law generally doesn't allow individuals to import prescription drugs, though under its personal importation policy the FDA has long used enforcement discretion for some personal-use shipments, generally no more than a three-month supply (FDA). Congress declared in FD&C Act 804(j)(1), 21 U.S.C. 384(j)(1), that enforcement against individuals should focus on imports posing a significant threat to public health. You need a prescription from your doctor. New U.S. Customs rules for mailed orders start January 20, 2027. Generic apremilast sold by pharmacies abroad is not FDA-approved. No FDA-approved generic apremilast is sold in the U.S. yet.
