What does brimonidine tartrate–timolol usually cost?
Brimonidine tartrate–timolol is typically priced based on whether you’re filling a branded product or a generic version, plus the bottle size and the pharmacy’s pricing. Actual out-of-pocket cost can vary a lot by location and insurance coverage, so you usually need the exact product strength/directions and your ZIP code to get a precise price.
Does a generic brimonidine tartrate–timolol lower the price?
Most brimonidine tartrate–timolol regimens are available as generics, which generally cost less than branded options. If you’re seeing a high copay, asking the pharmacy for the generic (or for an alternate NDC for the same formulation) is often the fastest way to reduce the price.
How can I find the lowest price fast (pharmacy vs discount cards)?
For eye-drop medicines like this combo, the cheapest option is often whichever of these is lowest on the day you fill:
- cash price at your pharmacy
- a pharmacy discount program (some are integrated into the pharmacy counter system)
- a coupon/price comparison from a discount-card site
To compare accurately, make sure the listings match the same strength and bottle size (and that you’re comparing the same “brimonidine tartrate–timolol” combination, not separate agents).

What I need to give you a realistic cost estimate
If you share these details, I can narrow down the likely pricing range:
1) the exact product name on your bottle (brand vs generic)
2) concentration (strength) and bottle size (e.g., mL)
3) your ZIP code (or country)
4) whether you want cash price or copay with insurance
