Buying from a pharmacy outside the U.S.? Read Is it safe to order Uceris from Canada?
Each row is one product from one pharmacy, shown in the pack size with the lowest price per unit; its other pack sizes are listed under “other pack sizes”. Price per unit = the pack price divided by the units in the pack, before shipping; we sort by it and don't assume how long a pack lasts. Total with shipping = the pack price plus the pharmacy's shipping fee for one order. Prices checked Nov 11, 2026 on each pharmacy's website, in U.S. dollars (converted when a pharmacy prices in Canadian dollars). The lowest price at the top of this page uses only packs whose maker the pharmacy names, or whose product country and ships-from country it states. Prices change often; confirm at checkout. U.S. rows: the cash price a U.S. pharmacy published on its own website on the date shown, plus its standard shipping; no insurance or discount cards. “Fee not published” means the pharmacy doesn’t show its shipping fee before checkout, so that row’s total is the medicine price only.

Uceris coupons and savings programs

- Medicare Extra Help: if you have Medicare and limited income, Extra Help lowers what you pay for prescriptions. (Social Security)
- Medicare Prescription Payment Plan: a free Medicare option that spreads your drug costs into monthly payments across the year. It doesn't lower the total, but it can make costs easier to manage. (Medicare.gov)
Is there a generic Uceris?
Yes. The FDA approved generic budesonide 9 mg extended-release tablets from Actavis (Teva) on July 3, 2018 and Mylan on September 17, 2020, rated equivalent to Uceris. Actavis's generic has been listed as on the market since July 5, 2018, and Oceanside sells an authorized generic made under the Uceris approval.

Outside the U.S.: Online pharmacies abroad sell brand Uceris made for other markets, where it's called Cortiment. Those packs are not FDA-approved, and the price table labels them that way.

What is Uceris used for?
Uceris (budesonide) is a corticosteroid tablet that releases the medicine through the colon. According to its FDA label (DailyMed), it is used:
- To bring active, mild to moderate ulcerative colitis into remission (induction of remission) in adults.
The label dose is one 9 mg tablet once a day in the morning, with or without food, for up to 8 weeks. The tablet is swallowed whole, not chewed or crushed. The label's warnings include steroid side effects, adrenal suppression and a higher risk of infections. Your prescriber decides which medicine is right for you.
Is it safe to order Uceris from Canada?
Many Americans do, but U.S. law and customs rules apply, and for Uceris, compare the U.S. price of FDA-approved generic budesonide ER tablets before you order. Federal law generally doesn't allow individuals to import prescription drugs, though under its personal importation policy the FDA has long used enforcement discretion for some personal-use shipments, generally no more than a three-month supply (FDA). Congress has said enforcement against individuals should focus on imports that pose a significant threat to public health (Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act section 804(j)(1), 21 U.S.C. 384(j)(1)). You need a prescription from your doctor. New U.S. Customs rules for mailed orders start January 20, 2027. In Canada, Ferring sells the 9 mg tablet as Cortiment, and the Uceris name there is used for a budesonide rectal foam (Health Canada, checked 2026-11-11).
