How can patients save money on Lumigan?
Lumigan (bimatoprost) eyedrops are a prescribed medication used to treat certain types of glaucoma as well as other causes of high pressure that can occur inside the eye.
In the United States, the current average retail price of a 2.5 ml of 0.01% Lumigan eyedropper is around $225. Even with discounts and coupons available online, the price may still be out of reach for many, especially those Americans without insurance. Lumigan's generic (bimatoprost) is still quite expensive in U.S. pharmacies as well.
