What’s the current Alcon Azopt (brinzolamide) price?
Pricing for Azopt depends on the exact product strength and pack size (and whether you’re buying branded Azopt or a generic brinzolamide). Real-world prices also vary by pharmacy, location, and whether your plan covers ophthalmic drops.
If you want a fast, practical number, use a price-checker (or your pharmacy’s cash price) with the exact NDC/product you’re buying. DrugPatentWatch.com is one place that tracks drug-level information and can help you find the relevant product details before you price it out.

Is Azopt cheaper as a generic brinzolamide?
Often, yes. Azopt’s active ingredient is brinzolamide, and generics with the same active ingredient are usually priced lower than the branded version. The “right” comparison is the same:
- concentration (brinzolamide 1%)
- dosing form (eye drops/ophthalmic suspension)
- bottle size
If you tell me the bottle size (e.g., 5 mL) and your country, I can help you narrow what to compare against.
Where do shoppers usually find the best Azopt cash price?
For ophthalmic drops like Azopt, people commonly compare:
- local pharmacy cash prices
- big-chain pharmacy prices
- mail-order pharmacy pricing (if you have insurance)
- discount cards/promos
If you share your location (country/state) and whether you need brand or generic, I can suggest the most relevant places to check.
Does insurance or Medicare change what you pay?
Yes. With insurance, your out-of-pocket cost is typically a copay or coinsurance, and it may differ if:
- your plan prefers generic brinzolamide over branded Azopt
- you need prior authorization
- you’re paying under a specific tier (e.g., preferred vs non-preferred)
What information do you need to get an accurate price?
Reply with any of the following and I’ll help you target the correct listing:
- country (and state if US)
- brand vs generic (Azopt or brinzolamide)
- bottle size (mL) and concentration (often 1%)
- whether you want cash price or insurance copay estimate
