What does neomycin/polymyxin B/hydrocortisone cost (and what drives the price)?
Prices for neomycin polymyxin B hydrocortisone products vary by:
- Formulation (eye drops vs. ear drops/ointment; concentration matters)
- Brand vs. generic availability in your area
- Quantity (e.g., bottle size or tube size)
- Pharmacy and cash-pay vs. insurance pricing
To get a realistic current price, you typically need the exact product name (including concentration) and dosage form, plus your zip code.
How can you find the lowest cash price near you?
For the most reliable real-time pricing, check a pharmacy price comparison tool using the exact active ingredients and dosage form. If your goal is the cheapest cash price (not insurance), comparison sites usually surface the lowest local options and show whether a generic is available.
If you share the exact product you mean (for example, “neomycin/polymyxin B/hydrocortisone ophthalmic suspension” or “otic drops”) and your location (zip code), I can help narrow what to search for.

Is this usually cheaper as a generic?
In many cases, combination antibiotic/corticosteroid products like neomycin/polymyxin B/hydrocortisone have generic versions, which tend to lower cost compared with brand products. Exact pricing still depends on the specific dosage form and strength.
Quick check: which product are you pricing?
Neomycin polymyxin B hydrocortisone can come as ophthalmic or otic products. Price can differ a lot by formulation. Reply with:
1) eye or ear (or ointment vs drops)

…and I’ll help you identify what price range to expect and what to compare.
