Proctofoam-Hc costs $190-$235 without insurance. Learn how to save with coupons, discount cards, patient assistance programs, and generic alternatives.
Let's be honest — Proctofoam-Hc is expensive. At $190 to $235 per canister without insurance, this prescription hemorrhoid foam can be a real financial burden, especially when you need to use it 3 to 4 times a day and a single canister only lasts about 3 to 5 days.
But there are real ways to bring the cost down. In this guide, we'll walk through every option — from discount cards and coupons to patient assistance programs, generic alternatives, and other strategies that can save you real money on Proctofoam-Hc.
Here's what you can expect to pay for Proctofoam-Hc at the pharmacy counter without insurance:
That means if you need Proctofoam-Hc for a two-week course of treatment, you could be looking at $400 to $700+ in total costs without any discounts.
Understanding these numbers makes it clear why finding savings matters. Let's look at your options.
Prescription discount cards are one of the easiest ways to save on Proctofoam-Hc. They're free, don't require insurance, and are accepted at most major pharmacies.
GoodRx is one of the most widely used discount platforms. As of 2026, GoodRx coupons can bring the price of Proctofoam-Hc down to approximately $192 — a savings of about $35 to $45 off the average retail price. Visit goodrx.com to compare prices at pharmacies near you.
SingleCare offers competitive pricing on Proctofoam-Hc, with prices in the range of $160 to $210 depending on your pharmacy. SingleCare cards are accepted at CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, and most independent pharmacies. Visit singlecare.com to check current prices.
Additional discount cards worth checking include:
Pro tip: Prices vary significantly between pharmacies, even with the same coupon. Always compare prices at 3 to 4 pharmacies before filling your prescription. Sometimes an independent pharmacy or Costco will have a much better price than a chain store.
If you're uninsured or underinsured and struggling to afford Proctofoam-Hc, the manufacturer may be able to help. Viatris (the company behind Proctofoam-Hc) offers a Patient Assistance Program (PAP) that provides eligible medications at no cost to qualifying patients.
Eligibility typically requires:
How to apply:
Processing can take several weeks, so this option works best for ongoing treatment rather than urgent needs.
One of the biggest money-saving moves is asking your doctor about switching to generic Hydrocortisone/Pramoxine cream. This contains the exact same active ingredients as Proctofoam-Hc — Hydrocortisone Acetate and Pramoxine Hydrochloride — at the same concentrations.
The cost difference is dramatic:
That's a savings of $150 or more per prescription.
The main difference is the delivery method — cream vs. aerosol foam. The cream is applied by hand or with an applicator, while the foam uses a pressurized canister and dedicated applicator. For many patients, particularly those with perianal (external) symptoms, the cream works just as well.
Generic Hydrocortisone/Pramoxine is sold under brand names including Analpram HC, Pramosone, and Pramosone E. Ask your doctor if this switch makes sense for your condition.

For mild hemorrhoid symptoms, you may not need a prescription at all. Over-the-counter hydrocortisone creams and suppositories can provide relief at a fraction of the cost:
These products contain hydrocortisone at the same 1% concentration but don't include pramoxine (the numbing agent). If your symptoms are primarily itching and inflammation (without severe pain), OTC hydrocortisone may be sufficient. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
Pharmacy pricing for Proctofoam-Hc varies widely. The same canister can cost $60 more at one pharmacy than another. Use Medfinder to check availability and then compare prices using GoodRx or SingleCare across multiple locations.
Some pharmacies may be willing to work with you on filling a partial prescription if cost is a barrier. While this is less common with aerosol products, it's worth asking.
If you have insurance, check whether Proctofoam-Hc is on your plan's formulary. If it's not covered, ask your doctor to request a formulary exception or prior authorization. Sometimes insurance will cover it when the prescriber documents medical necessity.
If you have an HSA or FSA, you can use those pre-tax dollars to pay for Proctofoam-Hc. This effectively saves you 20–30% depending on your tax bracket.
Beyond the Viatris PAP, other resources may help:
Proctofoam-Hc is an effective medication, but the price tag can be tough to handle. By using discount cards, exploring the Viatris Patient Assistance Program, considering generic alternatives, and shopping around, you can significantly reduce what you pay out of pocket.
Here's a quick action plan:
Don't let cost stand between you and relief. There are options — you just need to know where to look.
