Questions

Why is the comparison with Medicare for CLODAN 0.05% SHAMPOO labelled estimated?
Beyond what the card shows, the records give these reasons: The Part D figure covers 2024-01-01 to 2024-12-31; the NADAC price is from the file of 2026-10-14. Part D spending basis, as the Part D record states it: Part D 2024 average spend per dosage unit for Clodan / Clobetasol Propionate: all makers, strengths, forms and routes combined, claim-weighted; gross cost incl. dispensing fees and patient pay, before rebates. Unit taken as NADAC's ML. Joined on brand name.
Why does this page start at 118 mL?
NADAC prices this product per ML. The FDA NDC Directory’s package description gives 118 mL in one package for this product’s NDC (“1 BOTTLE in 1 CARTON (43538-950-04) / 118 mL in 1 BOTTLE”), so the card starts at one package: 118 ML. Change it to match your prescription.
