What a compounded Metformin gram is
Cream here means topical and transdermal creams, gels, ointments, lotions, foams and solutions. A compounding pharmacy makes Metformin creams to the strength on the prescription rather than stocking a fixed commercial product, which is why the same drug can be quoted at very different prices.

Common fill sizes: 30 and 60.

It depends on the strength and how many creams a month the prescription calls for. At $1.20 to $2.83 per gram, thirty creams work out to roughly $36 to $84.90, before shipping. Larger quantities usually bring the per-gram price down.
Which strengths of Metformin creams do pharmacies make?
Strengths currently listed include 5/10/0.1/0.025% and 5%/1%/1%/5%. Compounding pharmacies prepare the strength on the prescription, so other strengths are usually possible — ask for a quote for the exact strength your prescriber wrote.
Why are Metformin creams priced so differently between pharmacies?
The price of a compounded gram reflects the active ingredient, the base and flavoring, the labor to make each batch, quality testing, and each pharmacy's overhead. Quantity matters too: a 90-count fill is usually cheaper per gram than a 30-count fill. Shipping and a dispensing fee can be added on top.
Do I need a prescription for compounded Metformin creams?
Yes. Compounded Metformin is made to a patient-specific prescription. A licensed prescriber writes the strength, form and quantity, and a licensed compounding pharmacy prepares it.
