Cequa cyclosporine ophthalmic solution 0.09 price?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for Cequa

Cequa (cyclosporine 0.09% ophthalmic solution) – typical U.S. price

Package Approx. retail cost (no insurance)
1 mL bottle (the standard unit) $220 – $260
1 mL bottle (often sold as a 30‑day supply) Same range

The price above reflects the average list price that most pharmacies charge. Actual out‑of‑pocket costs can be lower (or higher) depending on your insurance plan, pharmacy pricing agreements, or any manufacturer discount programs you may qualify for.

How the cost is determined

  1. Manufacturer’s list price – the baseline MSRP set by the drug’s manufacturer.
  2. Insurance rebates & negotiations – most commercial and Medicare Part D plans negotiate rebates with the manufacturer, which can lower the patient’s copay.
  3. Pharmacy discounts – some pharmacies offer coupons, loyalty programs, or pharmacy‑specific discounts that can reduce the sticker price.
  4. Patient assistance – for qualifying patients, the manufacturer’s Patient Support Program may offer a free supply after a short trial period (usually the first 90 days).

What to do next

  1. Check your prescription drug formulary – look up “Cequa” in your pharmacy or insurer’s formulary.
  2. Call the pharmacy – most chains provide a quick estimate of the copay for a 30‑day supply.
  3. Ask about coupons – pharmacies or the manufacturer sometimes have printable coupons that can drop the cost by $10–$20.
  4. Consider a patient assistance program – if you’re uninsured or under‑insured, the Cequa Patient Support Program can be a free option after an initial 90‑day trial (subject to eligibility).

Bottom line

  • Retail: ~$230 for a 1 mL bottle (30‑day supply).
  • Insurance: copays vary widely—often $10–$30 for a 30‑day supply if the drug is on‑formulary.
  • Assistance: manufacturer program can eliminate the cost after 90 days for many patients.
