Brimonidine Tartrate-Timolol Coupons & Prices

Looking for a brimonidine-tartrate-timolol coupon? Brimonidine tartrate / timolol maleate ophthalmic solution is the generic form of Combigan, a twice-daily eye drop that lowers elevated eye pressure in open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Because it is a generic, it is already one of the lower-cost ways to treat high eye pressure, but the cash price still varies widely from one pharmacy to the next.

What is brimonidine-timolol and how does it work?

Brimonidine tartrate / timolol maleate is a combination eye drop that pairs two pressure-lowering medicines in a single bottle. Brimonidine is an alpha-2 adrenergic agonist and timolol is a non-selective beta-adrenergic blocker. Together they reduce the amount of fluid the eye makes and help fluid drain, which lowers intraocular pressure (IOP). It is the generic equivalent of the brand Combigan.

It is prescribed for people with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension whose eye pressure is not controlled well enough on a single medicine, either as add-on (adjunctive) therapy or as a replacement. The usual dose is one drop in the affected eye or eyes twice a day, roughly 12 hours apart. Always follow the exact directions from your eye doctor.

Cost of generic brimonidine-timolol without insurance

Generic brimonidine-timolol is widely available and substitutable for Combigan, so it is generally far less expensive than the brand. Even so, the cash price without insurance can differ a lot depending on which pharmacy you use, so it pays to compare before you fill. Rx.com checks discounted prices across more than 60,000 pharmacies so you can find a lower price near you. Enter your ZIP above to see today's price and print or text yourself a free coupon.

If your prescriber wants you on the brand, the maker of Combigan (AbbVie) runs an official manufacturer savings program on the Combigan website; eligibility and terms vary and it typically cannot be combined with a discount coupon. For most people, comparing cash prices on the generic with a free Rx.com coupon is the simplest way to keep costs down.

Alternatives and related eye-pressure drops

Brimonidine-timolol is one of several options for lowering eye pressure, and your doctor chooses based on how well your pressure is controlled and how you tolerate each drop. Related medicines you may want to compare include:

• Combigan - the brand-name version of this same brimonidine-timolol combination.
• Brimonidine - the alpha-2 agonist component used on its own.
• Timolol - the beta-blocker component used on its own.
• Dorzolamide-timolol - another twice-daily combination eye drop that pairs a beta-blocker with a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor.
• Latanoprost - a once-daily prostaglandin drop often used as a first-line option.

Do not switch or stop drops on your own. Ask your eye doctor which option fits your pressure targets and health history, then compare prices here.

Safety, contraindications, and who should not use it

Brimonidine-timolol has no FDA boxed warning, but the timolol (beta-blocker) part is absorbed into the bloodstream and carries real cautions. It is contraindicated in people with reactive airway disease such as bronchial asthma or a history of asthma, severe COPD, sinus bradycardia, second- or third-degree AV block, overt heart failure, or cardiogenic shock. Because the beta-blocker can reach the rest of the body, it may cause serious breathing reactions (bronchospasm) and serious heart reactions, and it can mask the warning signs of low blood sugar and of an overactive thyroid.

The brimonidine part can cause drowsiness, fatigue, and lower blood pressure. This medicine is not for newborns or infants under 2 years old because of the risk of apnea and central nervous system depression, and it should be used with caution in older children. Tell your doctor about all your health conditions and medicines. This is general information, not medical advice, so talk with your provider or pharmacist about what is right for you.
