Helping Americans Get The Truth About Prescription Drug Savings

American Made, Cheaper Abroad: Acuvail


A weekly series identifying prescription drugs manufactured in America and their prices.

Acuvail (ketorolac tromethamine ophthalmic solution) is an anti-inflammatory used to treat pain and inflammation following cataract surgery. Acuvail is manufactured in the U.S. by Allergan, but its price is much lower in other countries. It costs $249.99 for 30 single-use vials at a Rite-Aid in New York City. From a verified international online pharmacy, 30 vials costs only $65. That’s a 74% savings!
