About This Medication

# Galderma Laboratories Patient Assistance Program Patient Guide: How to Get Soolantra (ivermectin) at Low or No Cost Soolantra (ivermectin) cream 1% is a prescription medication used to treat inflammatory lesions of **rosacea**, a common skin condition causing redness, bumps, and irritation on the face. This guide explains the **Galderma Laboratories Patient Assistance Program (PAP)**, which provides Soolantra at low or no cost to eligible uninsured patients facing financial hardship. ## About Soolantra (ivermectin) **Soolantra** is a topical cream applied once daily to affected areas of the face. Its active ingredient, ivermectin, works by reducing inflammation and killing microscopic mites (Demodex) that can contribute to rosacea symptoms. Clinical studies show it clears or nearly clears lesions in many patients within 12 weeks, with continued improvement over time. Common side effects include mild burning or skin irritation, which usually improve with use. Always follow your doctor's instructions and report any severe reactions. This program helps patients who cannot afford treatment due to lack of insurance or income constraints. Galderma Laboratories, the manufacturer, offers this support to ensure access to therapy.[10] ## Who Qualifies for the Program? The program is designed for U.S. residents experiencing financial hardship. Key eligibility includes: - **No prescription insurance** and ineligible for federal or state programs like Medicare Part D, Medicaid, Medigap, VA, DoD, TriCare, or similar government-sponsored plans.[2][9] - **Income at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL)**. Eligibility is assessed case-by-case.[5] - A valid prescription from a licensed prescriber. - Residency in the United States; patients must be at least 18 years old for related savings programs, though PAP focuses on financial need.[2] **Note:** This is not a copay card or savings program like Galderma CAREConnect, which has separate rules for commercially insured patients. The PAP targets uninsured, low-income individuals.[2][5][9] ## Income Eligibility Breakdown Eligibility hinges on household income at or below **200% of the FPL**. The FPL is updated annually by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. Below is a table with 2026 guidelines (approximate; verify current levels via HHS.gov or call the program). | Household Size | 100% FPL | 200% FPL | |----------------|------------|--------------| | 1 (Individual) | $15,060 | **$30,120** | | 2 (Couple) | $20,440 | **$40,880** | | 3 | $25,820 | **$51,640** | | 4 | $31,200 | **$62,400** | *Add ~$5,380 per additional person for 100% FPL (x2 for 200%). Provide proof like tax returns or pay stubs. Exact thresholds may vary; program confirms on application.*[program data] ## Insurance Requirements You **must have no prescription insurance** and be ineligible for government programs.
