Frequently asked questions
Which is cheaper, Prograf or Protopic?
Pharmacies pay about the same to acquire either one — roughly $0.65 per gm, per the CMS NADAC survey. That is not what you will be charged: your price is set by your insurer and the pharmacy, not by what the drug cost them.
What is the difference between Prograf and Protopic?
Both Prograf and Protopic share the active ingredient Tacrolimus.
