The Problem: Zelsuvmi Isn't at Every Pharmacy

You've got a prescription for Zelsuvmi (berdazimer topical gel, 10.3%) to treat molluscum contagiosum. Now you need to actually fill it — and that's where things can get frustrating.

Zelsuvmi is a newer specialty medication that only became commercially available in July 2025. Not every pharmacy stocks it routinely. With a cash price of $1,910 to $2,350 per kit, many pharmacies don't keep it on the shelf unless they know a patient needs it.

The good news: you don't have to call every pharmacy in town. There are faster ways to find Zelsuvmi in stock.

Method 1: Use MedFinder

MedFinder is designed specifically for this problem. It helps you search for pharmacies that have specific medications in stock, including specialty drugs like Zelsuvmi.

How it works:

1. Go to medfinder.com
2. Search for "Zelsuvmi" or "berdazimer"
3. Enter your ZIP code
4. See which nearby pharmacies have it available

This is the fastest way to avoid the phone-call runaround.

Method 2: Check Major Pharmacy Websites and Apps

Several large pharmacy chains let you check drug availability online or through their apps.

Walgreens

Zelsuvmi is available at Walgreens retail pharmacies. You can:

• Use the Walgreens app to check prescription status
• Call your local Walgreens pharmacy directly
• Ask your doctor to e-prescribe to a specific Walgreens location

Amazon Pharmacy

Zelsuvmi is available through Amazon Pharmacy for home delivery. This can be a convenient option if you have an Amazon account and don't want to deal with local pharmacies.

• Visit pharmacy.amazon.com
• Search for Zelsuvmi
• Transfer or have your doctor send the prescription
• Medications are delivered to your door

ASPN Pharmacy Services

Pelthos Therapeutics (the manufacturer) also distributes Zelsuvmi through ASPN Pharmacy Services, a specialty pharmacy. This may be an option if local pharmacies don't stock it.

Method 3: Use Your Insurance Company's Pharmacy Finder

Your health insurance company's website or app often has a tool to find in-network pharmacies. Some insurers also show which pharmacies carry specific drugs.

1. Log into your insurance portal
2. Look for a "Find a Pharmacy" or "Pharmacy Locator" tool
3. Search for pharmacies near you that carry Zelsuvmi

This is also helpful for making sure you're going to an in-network pharmacy to get the best price.

Method 4: Ask Your Doctor's Office

Your prescribing doctor — especially if they're a dermatologist — likely knows which local pharmacies stock Zelsuvmi. When they write the prescription, ask:

• "Which pharmacy should I send this to?"
• "Do you know which pharmacies near here carry Zelsuvmi?"
• "Can you e-prescribe to a specific pharmacy that has it?"

Dermatology offices that prescribe Zelsuvmi regularly usually have this figured out.

Method 5: Contact ZelsuvmiGO

The manufacturer's ZelsuvmiGO program can help you locate pharmacies that carry Zelsuvmi. Call (888) 215-8372 for assistance. They can also help with:

• Insurance coverage questions
• Copay assistance (commercially insured patients may pay as little as $0)
• Connecting you with specialty pharmacies

What If No Pharmacy Near You Has It?

If you can't find Zelsuvmi locally, don't panic. You have options:

• Order through Amazon Pharmacy for home delivery
• Ask your pharmacy to order it. Most pharmacies can special-order medications — it usually takes 1-3 business days to arrive
• Use a specialty pharmacy. ASPN Pharmacy Services distributes Zelsuvmi and can ship it to you
• Ask your doctor to send the prescription to a pharmacy that has it in stock

How to Speed Things Up

Here are a few tips to get Zelsuvmi filled as quickly as possible:

• Handle prior authorization early. Many insurance plans require prior authorization for Zelsuvmi. Ask your doctor's office to start this process the same day they write the prescription. It can take 1-5 business days.
• Know your copay before you go. Check with your insurer or the ZelsuvmiGO program so there are no surprises at the pharmacy counter.
• Have a backup pharmacy. If your first-choice pharmacy doesn't have it, have a second option ready.
• Consider mail-order. Amazon Pharmacy and specialty mail-order options can be more reliable for specialty drugs.

Understanding the Cost

Zelsuvmi's cash price ranges from $1,910 to $2,350 per kit. Before you fill:

• Check if your insurance covers it (coverage has expanded significantly since December 2025)
• Enroll in the ZelsuvmiGO copay program — eligible commercially insured patients may pay $0
• If uninsured, ask about the ZelsuvmiGO patient assistance program at (888) 309-0186

The Bottom Line

Checking pharmacy stock for Zelsuvmi doesn't have to mean calling 10 pharmacies. Use MedFinder, check Amazon Pharmacy, ask your doctor, or contact ZelsuvmiGO to find it fast. If your local pharmacy doesn't have it on the shelf, they can usually order it within a few days — or you can use home delivery.
