American Made, Cheaper Abroad: Lumigan Eyedrops
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.
