The spread

1.3× – 2.4× estimated

Medicare paid between 1.3× and 2.4× what pharmacies pay, depending on the NDC.

Part D averages every strength and form sold under “Econazole Nitrate” into one figure, so it is not specific to this NDC.

Questions

Why is the comparison with Medicare for ECONAZOLE NITRATE 1% CREAM 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 Econazole Nitrate / Econazole Nitrate: all makers, strengths, forms and routes combined, claim-weighted; gross cost incl. dispensing fees and patient pay, before rebates. Unit taken as NADAC's GM. Joined on generic name.
Why does this page start at 1 g?
The FDA package descriptions of this product’s NDCs give different amounts (15 g, 30 g, 85 g). So the card starts at 1 GM; change it to match your prescription.
