A weekly series identifying prescription drugs manufactured in America and their prices.
Lumigan (bimatoprost) ophthalmic solution is used for the treatment symptoms from glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Lumigan, a product of the drug company Allergan, is manufactured in the U.S., but the price at U.S. pharmacies is about six times higher than in other countries. You can save around 80% by ordering it from a verified international online pharmacy: one 2.5 ml vial of Lumigan costs $114 at a Rite-Aid in New York City, but a 3 ml vial is only $22 from a PharmacyChecker.com-approved pharmacy.
Both my husband and I take lumingan eye drops. My husband also takes combigan eye drops. Is there also a generic price for combigan? My email is joycel@surewest.net
If I buy lumigan from Mexico the same as the usa?
Hi Jaime, The best way to find out if the Lumigan you buy in Mexico is the same or similar to the one sold in the U.S. is to compare manufacturing location and pharmaceutical company. Check U.S. labels for Lumigan (made by Allergan in the U.S.A.) here: https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/search.cfm?labeltype=all&query=LUMIGAN&pagesize=20&page=1
I would like the opportunity to purchase less expensive eye medication.

Henry is right. The same Lumigan is available at less expensive price outside of the US. I get Lumigan from the pharmacy in Italy my brother-in-law runs at only one-7th price of my nearby Rite Aid who quoted $114. He explained me the US price is protected by TTP, something related to tariff. It’s the same Lumigan!
Please help me I can not afford to pay $200.00 for a tiny bottle2.5ml of Lumigan it does not last me a whole month. I have glaucoma but I am scared to try a different country due to scammers please I am going to lose my vision if I don’t find a solution soon

Even at $22 per 3mls this is still highway robbery. At that price it comes out to $27,793 per gallon a little high don’t you think? The state attorneys general should be notified!!! Can you say PRICE GOUGE. They’re robbing us blind, Wait we’ll be blind if we don’t use this stuff! Caught between a rock and a hard place on this one.
I would not take Combigan because I was coughing and blurred vision until I stopped using it.
When I used Combigan my eyes were bloodshot and tears were constantly running down my face. My doctor said 30% of people are allergic to Combigan and switched me to generic Timolo. My symptoms cleared up though Timolo drys out my eyes. But, for $6.00 for a three months supply I can stand it. I just have artificial tears handy.
IT’S AMAZING A PRODUCT THAT IS MADE IN THESE COUNTRY & WE HAVE TO PAY SO MUCH. I TAKE LUMIGAN & COMBIGAN AND I HAVE ALL KIND OF PROBLEMS WITH THE INSURANCE, MAYBE INSURANCE COMPANY SHOULD ALLWOOD TO PURCHASE OUTSIDE OF THE COUNTRY.I WAS JUST IN PORTUGAL AND I PURCHASE BOTH EYE DROOPS FOR TWENTY SIX EUROS WHY
OTHER HAVE TO PAY LESS THAN US WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE.
Allergan has a discount program for Lumigan that runs until May 2019:

Hi Sally – For brand-name Lumigan, you can find much lower prices internationally from a licensed pharmacy in Canada or other country. Lumigan is marketed as “Lumigan RC” in Canada. You can also compare prices for the generic version, bimatoprost, using http://www.pharmacyChecker.com.
I have read many times that lumigan does not have a generic version!
