Why two NDCs? The FDA registers this code as 45802-896-26 — a 5-3-2 layout, and that's what's printed on the package and shown on DailyMed. For insurance claims, every NDC is standardized to a uniform 11-digit 5-4-2 format by adding a zero to the product segment → 45802-0896-26. Same drug, same package — only the format differs.

Where does this data come from?
NADAC (National Average Drug Acquisition Cost) is the CMS weekly pharmacy-acquisition-cost survey — what pharmacies pay. ASP (Average Sales Price) is the CMS Medicare Part B drug-payment file, published quarterly. Medicaid pays is computed by us from CMS State Drug Utilization Data (total reimbursed ÷ units, trailing 12 months) — gross of rebates and inclusive of dispensing fees, so it reflects what Medicaid paid, not an acquisition cost. Medicare drug plans pay is the median negotiated point-of-sale unit cost across plans listing this NDC in the CMS quarterly Prescription Drug Plan pricing files, before rebates. The VA pays is the federal contract price (FSS, and the statutory Big 4 ceiling where listed) from the VA National Acquisition Center pharmaceutical price file. All are free public government data; each measures a different payer, so the figures are not directly comparable.

⏱️ Dosage and Administration 12 words ▾

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Apply a thin film to affected areas twice daily.

⛔ Contraindications 29 words ▾

CONTRAINDICATIONS Sulfacetamide Sodium Topical Suspension USP, 10% (Lotion) is contraindicated for use by patients having known hypersensitivity to sulfonamides or any other component of this preparation (see WARNINGS section).

⚠️ Warnings 138 words ▾

WARNINGS Fatalities have occurred, although rarely, due to severe reactions to sulfonamides including Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, fulminant hepatic necrosis, agranulocytosis, aplastic anemia, and other blood dyscrasias. Hypersensitivity reactions may occur when a sulfonamide is readministered, irrespective of the route of administration. Sensitivity reactions have been reported in individuals with no prior history of sulfonamide hypersensitivity.

At the first sign of hypersensitivity, skin rash or other reactions, discontinue use of this preparation (see ADVERSE REACTIONS section). Sulfacetamide Sodium Topical Suspension USP, 10% (Lotion) contains sodium metabisulfite, a sulfite that may cause allergic-type reactions including anaphylactic symptoms and life-threatening or less severe asthmatic episodes in certain susceptible people. The overall prevalence of sulfite sensitivity in the general population is unknown and probably low.

Sulfite sensitivity is seen more frequently in asthmatic than in non-asthmatic people (see CONTRAINDICATIONS section).

🤒 Adverse Reactions 93 words ▾

ADVERSE REACTIONS In controlled clinical trials for the management of acne vulgaris, the occurrence of adverse reactions associated with the use of sulfacetamide sodium lotion was infrequent and restricted to local events. The total incidence of adverse reactions reported in these studies was less than 2%. Only one of 105 patients treated with sulfacetamide sodium lotion had adverse reactions of erythema, itching and edema.

It has been reported that sulfacetamide sodium may cause local irritation, stinging and burning. While the irritation may be transient, occasionally, the use of medication has to be discontinued.

🤰 Pregnancy 127 words ▾

Pregnancy Teratogenic Effects: Pregnancy Category C - Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with Sulfacetamide Sodium Topical Suspension USP, 10% (Lotion). It is also not known whether Sulfacetamide Sodium Topical Suspension USP, 10% (Lotion) can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. Sulfacetamide Sodium Topical Suspension USP, 10% (Lotion) should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.

Kernicterus may occur in the newborn as a result of treatment of a pregnant woman at term with orally administered sulfonamide. There are no adequate and well controlled studies of Sulfacetamide Sodium Topical Suspension USP, 10% (Lotion) in pregnant women, and it is not known whether topically applied sulfonamides can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman.

🧒 Pediatric Use 18 words ▾

Pediatric Use - Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients under the age of 12 have not been established.

🧬 Clinical Pharmacology 155 words ▾

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY The most widely accepted mechanism of action of sulfonamides is the Woods-Fildes theory, based on sulfonamides acting as a competitive inhibitor of paraminobenzoic acid (PABA) utilization, an essential component for bacterial growth. While absorption through intact skin in humans has not been determined, in vitro studies with human cadaver skin indicated a percutaneous absorption of about 4%. Sulfacetamide sodium is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract when taken orally and excreted in the urine largely unchanged.

The biological half-life has been reported to be between 7 to 13 hours. The pharmacokinetics of sulfacetamide and its major metabolite sulfanilamide in sulfacetamide sodium lotion was evaluated in adult subjects (N=14) with acne vulgaris. The subjects applied sulfacetamide sodium lotion to their face, back, chest and shoulders every 12 hours for 28 days.

The percentage of the applied dose of sulfacetamide sodium lotion excreted in the urine as sulfacetamide plus sulfanilamide ranged from 0.08 to 0.33%.

⚠️ Precautions ~2 min read ▾

PRECAUTIONS General - For external use only. Keep away from eyes. If irritation develops, use of the product should be discontinued and appropriate therapy instituted.

Patients should be carefully observed for possible local irritation or sensitization during long-term therapy. Hypersensitivity reactions may occur when a sulfonamide is readministered irrespective of the route of administration, and cross-sensitivity between different sulfonamides may occur. Sulfacetamide sodium can cause reddening and scaling of the skin.

Particular caution should be employed if areas of involved skin to be treated are denuded or abraded. Keep out of the reach of children. Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility - Long-term studies in animals have not been performed to evaluate carcinogenic potential.

There are no adequate and well controlled studies of Sulfacetamide Sodium Topical Suspension USP, 10% (Lotion) in pregnant women, and it is not known whether topically applied sulfonamides can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Nursing Mothers - It is not known whether sulfacetamide sodium is excreted in the human milk following topical use of Sulfacetamide Sodium Topical Suspension USP, 10% (Lotion).

Systemically administered sulfonamides are capable of producing kernicterus in the infants of lactating women. Small amounts of orally administered sulfonamides have been reported to be eliminated in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised in prescribing for nursing women.

Pediatric Use - Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients under the age of 12 have not been established.

Medicaid utilization & spend

📍 This exact package only: Medicaid data is reported per full 11-digit NDC — labeler, product and pack size — so every number here is for this package alone, not the drug overall. Other pack sizes report separately.
💊 Pharmacy benefit only: These are Medicaid outpatient pharmacy claims, billed by NDC. They exclude the medical benefit — clinic- or hospital-administered drugs billed under HCPCS J-codes — so drugs used mostly that way (e.g. Avastin, Lucentis, Keytruda) can look low or missing here. That’s expected, not an error.

Medicare Part D spend CMS · PART D · 2026 (Q1)

Medicare Part D (outpatient prescription) spending for Sulfacetamide Sodium — the program that covers self-administered drugs. 3 manufacturers.
⚠️ Drug-level data: CMS publishes Part D spending by drug, not by NDC — these figures combine every manufacturer, strength and package size sold under the name Sulfacetamide Sodium. That’s a different level of aggregation than the Medicaid card above, which is specific to this exact 11-digit NDC (pack size included), so the two aren’t directly comparable.
