Vyzulta<\/a> is a brand-name prescription eye drop medication that reduces eye pressure in people with open-angle glaucoma<\/a> or ocular hypertension (high eye pressure). The active ingredient in Vyzulta, latanoprostene bunod, is a prostaglandin analog<\/a> that promotes fluid drainage from the inside of the eye, decreasing eye pressure. The brand-name Vyzulta eye drops price is steep, and there is no Vyzulta generic on the market. However, there are ways to save money on Vyzulta, and below are a few of them.<\/p>\n At this time, there is no generic version of Vyzulta ophthalmic solution. The earliest date that a generic version could be available is in 2029<\/a>.<\/p>\n Vyzulta is a brand-name drug that costs more than generic prostaglandin analogs. A 2.5 mL eye dropper bottle costs about $354 at the average retail price. It\u2019s hard to estimate how long that bottle will last. A pharmacist would say<\/a> that a 2.5 mL bottle contains 50 eye drops, but it may be double<\/a> that. So, at the recommended dosage<\/a>, a 2.5 mL bottle should last at least 25 days if both eyes are being treated. At that rate, the yearly cost of Vyzulta treatment works out to around $5,000.<\/p>\n Fortunately, there are generic alternatives. Prostaglandin analogs that work similarly to Vyzulta include latanoprost<\/a> ($83 for a 2.5 mL bottle), bimatoprost<\/a> ($267 for 5 mL), and travoprost<\/a> ($236 for 2.5 mL). All of these drugs work similarly to Vyzulta. However, the eye doctor may have already tried prescribing these drugs before prescribing Vyzulta. If not, ask the prescribing healthcare provider for medical advice about less costly alternatives.<\/p>\n Other types of drugs can also be used, including alpha-adrenergics (brimonidine<\/a>), beta blockers<\/a> (timolol<\/a>), and carbonic anhydrase inhibitors<\/a> (dorzolamide<\/a>). Keep in mind that the effectiveness and side effects of these other drugs are different from Vyzulta.\u00a0<\/p>\n People prescribed Vyzulta may also have to take one or more of these other eye drop medications. In that case, it may be cheaper to take a combination drug rather than take each one separately. If given multiple prescriptions for intraocular pressure (IOP) or glaucoma, ask the ophthalmologist about combination drugs, as they can sometimes help you to save money.<\/p>\n The best way to save money may not be to explore alternative drugs but to use a SingleCare prescription discount card<\/a>. With SingleCare, the lowest discount price for Vyzulta is only $211 for a 2.5 mL bottle.<\/p>\nWhat is the generic for Vyzulta?<\/h2>\n
