How much does Lumigan cost at the pharmacy?
Lumigan (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) prices vary a lot by strength (often 0.01% vs 0.03%), pack size, and where you fill it. The only reliable way to get a current price is to check a specific pharmacy or price aggregator for your ZIP code and the exact product you’re prescribed.
What affects Lumigan’s price (generic vs brand, bottle size, insurance)?
Lumigan is the brand name for bimatoprost drops. Your out-of-pocket cost depends on:
- Whether you’re getting the brand (Lumigan) or a generic bimatoprost version
- Bottle size (how many mL are in the bottle)
- Your insurance coverage, copay, and whether your plan requires prior authorization
- Pharmacy pricing and dispensing fees
- Whether you use a discount card (often helps most when you’re paying cash)
Is there a generic bimatoprost, and is it cheaper than Lumigan?
If you’re eligible for the generic, it is commonly less expensive than Lumigan because it competes on price. The exact difference varies by pharmacy and by your insurance/cash discount setup.

What I need from you to estimate your cost
If you tell me:
1) the strength on your prescription (0.01% or 0.03%),
2) the bottle size (mL, if listed), and
3) your ZIP code and whether you have insurance,
I can help you narrow down what price range you’re likely to see and what to search for when you check.
