Key Takeaways:
- Noritate is a prescription metronidazole cream for rosacea — offering the convenience of once daily application at a higher 1% concentration versus generic metronidazole that requires twice daily application at 0.75%.
- Retail price is approximately $1,887–$2,558 per 60-gram tube without insurance — an extraordinary expense for a chronic condition (verified April 2026), while generic metronidazole 0.75% is available for approximately $17–$43.
- AffordMyPrescriptions provides access to Noritate for just $69.95/month — and we'll help you determine whether the dramatically cheaper generic metronidazole would manage your rosacea equally well.
- No generic version of Noritate's specific 1% cream formulation is currently available, though generic metronidazole 0.75% topical products are widely accessible.
What Is Noritate Prescription Assistance Program?
The Noritate Prescription Assistance Program is a manufacturer-sponsored initiative designed to help qualifying patients who cannot afford Noritate access the medication at no or reduced cost. The program is available to U.S. citizens and legal residents without insurance or with limited incomes.
Rosacea is more than a cosmetic concern — the persistent facial redness, burning, stinging, and acne like breakouts can cause significant physical discomfort and profound emotional distress. When your dermatologist prescribes Noritate because you need the convenience of once-daily treatment at a higher concentration, discovering that a single tube costs nearly $2,000 can feel impossible.
AffordMyPrescriptions ensures that effective rosacea treatment is accessible regardless of your financial situation. For a flat $69.95 per month, our Patient Advocates identify the most affordable pathway — whether that’s the brand PAP, the copay card, or the dramatically cheaper generic metronidazole.
Pharmacy Price Comparison
- Without assistance, Airsupra costs hundreds of dollars or more per month at retail pharmacies. Discount programs offer some relief, but they don’t come close to what a Patient Assistance Program provides, if you qualify:
| Pharmacy(With Coupon) | PrIce (30-Day)* | You Save W/ Us |
|---|---|---|
| Walgreens | ~$1,950.00 | Save ~$1,880/mo |
| CVS Pharmacy | ~$1,900.58 | Save ~$1,831/mo |
| Walmart | ~$1,890.00 | Save ~$1,820/mo |
| Costco | ~$1,895.00 | Save ~$1,825/mo |
| SingleCare Best Price | ~$2,108.21 | Save ~$2,038/mo |
*Just a heads-up — retail prices are estimates based on public data and vary by pharmacy. AffordMyPrescriptions Advocacy Service bypasses this by using drug manufacturer programs to secure your medication directly at no cost or retail price.

Why choose us For Your Noritate Prescription Program?
Rosacea is a lifelong condition — it doesn’t go away, it requires ongoing management, and treatment interruptions typically lead to flares that are visible to everyone you encounter. When your dermatologist has prescribed Noritate because the once-daily convenience at 1% concentration best fits your treatment plan, maintaining consistent access month after month is essential.
From the moment you enroll, your advocate takes full ownership of your case. They determine whether brand-name Noritate, the manufacturer’s $25 copay card, or the dramatically cheaper generic metronidazole is the right fit for your situation and budget, prepare your application if the PAP is appropriate, and coordinate with your dermatologist. When your tube runs out, they manage refill timing proactively so your rosacea treatment is never interrupted.
Our pricing is simple and predictable: $69.95 per month — every month, without exception. While the medication itself is provided at no cost through the assistance program, our monthly fee covers professional advocacy, application management, and doctor coordination. If we’re unable to secure access, you won’t be charged. And since generic metronidazole at $17–$43 treats rosacea effectively for the vast majority of patients, we’ll always be transparent about the most cost-effective option.

Understanding Noritate:
Noritate (metronidazole cream 1%) is a prescription topical cream used to treat the inflammatory signs of rosacea — a chronic skin condition that causes persistent facial redness, visible blood vessels, and acne-like bumps on the face. You apply a thin film once daily after washing and before applying
cosmetics. The once-daily dosing is a key convenience advantage over lower-concentration generic metronidazole products that require twice-daily application.
How It Works:
In rosacea, the skin of your face is in a state of chronic inflammation — blood vessels near the surface are dilated (causing persistent redness), and inflammatory cells accumulate in the skin (causing the papules and pustules that resemble acne). Noritate delivers metronidazole — a nitroimidazole antibiotic with both antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties — directly to the inflamed facial skin. It has direct anti-inflammatory effects, reducing the production of reactive oxygen species and inflammatory chemicals that drive the redness and swelling. It also has antibacterial activity against the microorganisms (including Demodex mites) associated with rosacea’s inflammatory response.
Form and Use:
Noritate is available as a 1% cream in 60-gram tubes. Apply a thin film to the affected areas of your face once daily, typically in the evening, after washing and before applying any cosmetics or sunscreen.
Generic Availability:
As of April 2026, there is no generic version of Noritate’s specific formulation (metronidazole 1% cream) available in the United States. However, generic metronidazole is widely available in other topical formulations — including 0.75% cream (approximately $17–$43 per tube with coupons) and 0.75% gel (approximately $30 per tube). For most rosacea patients, generic metronidazole 0.75% offers effective treatment at a fraction of the cost.
Warnings:
Avoid contact with eyes. Noritate is for external use only. Discuss all skincare products with your dermatologist; harsh or irritating products can worsen rosacea. Continue using Noritate as prescribed even after improvement — stopping treatment often leads to rosacea flares.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
How much does Noritate cost without insurance?
Brand-name Noritate costs approximately $1,887–$2,558 per 60-gram tube. The manufacturer copay card may reduce out-of-pocket costs to as little as $25 per prescription for eligible patients. Generic metronidazole 0.75% cream costs $17–$43 with coupons. Through AffordMyPrescriptions, qualifying patients can access Noritate at no medication cost — our $69.95 monthly fee covers advocacy.
Is this the same Noritate I'd get at a pharmacy?
Yes. The Noritate provided through the Patient Assistance Program is the identical FDA approved 1% metronidazole cream that would be dispensed at any retail pharmacy.
Is there a generic version of Noritate?
No generic exists for the specific 1% cream formulation. However, generic metronidazole 0.75% cream and gel are widely available for $17–$43 per tube and provide effective rosacea treatment for most patients. Our advocates will help you decide whether Noritate’s once-daily convenience justifies the price difference.
How long does it take Noritate to work?
You may notice improvement within 3–4 weeks, but full results typically require 8–12 weeks of consistent daily use. Rosacea treatment requires patience — the redness and bumps reduce gradually over time.
