I paid $38 as a co-pay for 2.5 ml which is a 25 day supply if you calculate 1 drop in each eye per day and no lost drops onto your shirt. That comes out to $143,000 a gallon! or, if you have no insurance and are paying full price roughly $750,0000 a gallon. I think Alcon has got some big 'nads charging 3/4 of a million dollars a gallon for eye drops. With that said....the stuff works great and ...
This stuff gave me the worst cold I have had in a couple of years. Ended up having to cancel appointments and other events and spend money on cold remedies. I would not have taken it if I had known

I had relief after one dose. It was remarkable since I suffered for years using over the counter drops to no avail. My insurance refuses to pay for this drug so I don't know how long I can use it as it is terribly expensive.

Seems to stop itchiness/grittiness very quickly but doesn't seem to provide long-term relief. Might even cause dry eyes to worsen. Needed genteal soon after. $50 co-pay!!! Way too pricey. Will never use or refill again.

Outrageously expensive. There has got to be something out there that works better than this. I've bought 2 bottles thinking that it works somewhat, but I'm ready to give up and try something else.

The price of this drug is just out of this world. I paid 109.00 for 2.5ml. First I thought it to be wrong but found someone else here that paid 90 dollars. Imagine using this at a bottle a month...i.e., that's over 1200 dollars per year. I am sorry, that is a wicked rip off folks. DO NOT BUY!

My son is using this medication. He is 4. His eyes get so red as soon as anything starts blooming in the spring. It keeps his eyes from swelling shut but it does not keep them from getting red and itchy. It is the best thing we have found so far though.

I used this medicine for 2 weeks and during this time suffered headaches and tiredness. Both disappeared within 48 hours after stopping medication.

I could not believe this cost me $90.00 for 2.5 ml. What a rip off. Has any one paid this price or is it an error on my grocer Raleys in California?

It was prescribed after burning and itching around my eyes occurred as an apparent side effect of taking prescribed Lumigan for glaucoma. Apparently my ophthalmologist thinks I am allergic to the Lumigan. It did not help at all.

Have been on Patanol for about 5 years, using 1 drop in ea eye once per day, and rarely needing a second dose. Doctor changed me to Pataday and have been rubbing my eyes ever since. Once a day does not last. Also, the dropper is too long & with each application, I poke it into my eye (unlkie the dropper in Patanol).

Used it for 2 weeks, after which time the skin around my eyes felt very tight. I also suffer from chronic dry eye and am considering Restasis, but after reading the reviews, I'm not sure I want to try it.
