Medication expensive - substitute?

I just found out that my Calcipotriene is not covered by insurance nor any substitutions. What have people used that works?

  1. I hate that you’re running into that. It can be really frustrating when a medication that’s been recommended isn’t accessible. You’re definitely not alone in navigating this. We do have a few articles that go over different treatment options - including other prescriptions, over-the-counter options, and alternative approaches, that might be helpful to explore: https://plaquepsoriasis.com/medications

    Hoping this gives you a few directions to look into, and also hopefully others in the community will share what has been helpful for them! -Kimberli (Team Member)
