About BRYNOVIN and its cost

What is this medication? Alphagan P is a brand of the prescription medication brimonidine tartrate, which is primarily used to treat patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. The medication belongs to a class of drugs known as alpha-2 adrenergic agonists. It works by reducing the amount of fluid produced within the eye and simultaneously increasing the drainage of that fluid. By lowering the internal pressure of the eye, Alphagan P helps to prevent damage to the optic nerve, which is essential for maintaining healthy vision and preventing potential blindness. This medication is typically administered in the form of an ophthalmic solution or eye drops. Because high intraocular pressure often does not cause noticeable symptoms in its early stages, Alphagan P is usually prescribed for long-term management to keep pressure levels within a safe range. Patients using this medication should follow a strict schedule as directed by their healthcare provider. It is important to disclose any history of heart disease or circulatory issues to a doctor before use, as the drug can occasionally cause systemic side effects such as fatigue, dizziness, or a dry sensation in the mouth.

BRYNOVIN is made by Allergan. Like most brand-name drugs, it's priced at a high list price — but patients rarely pay that list price. The options above are the real paths most people use to get it affordably.

Common questions

What's the cheapest way to afford BRYNOVIN?

It depends on your insurance. On Medicare, apply for the manufacturer's Patient Assistance Program (PAP) — it gives the drug free if you meet income requirements. With private insurance, the manufacturer copay card usually drops your copay to $0-$25. Uninsured patients should compare the PAP with Cost Plus Drugs cash price.

Can I use a copay card with Medicare for BRYNOVIN?

No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But Allergan has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover BRYNOVIN?

Part D coverage varies by plan. We query the CMS Prescription Drug Plan file to show you what percentage of plans cover it and at what tier. For your exact copay, pick "Medicare" above and check your plan's Summary of Benefits, or log in to Medicare.gov.

How long does a Patient Assistance Program take?

Most PAPs take 2-6 weeks from application to first fill. Ask the manufacturer about a "bridge supply" — many will ship 30 days free while your application is being reviewed so you don't go without the drug.

What if I have a high-deductible plan?

For generics, Cost Plus Drugs cash price is often cheaper than your deductible-phase copay. For brand names, the manufacturer copay card almost always wins. A GoodRx coupon can be a last resort for uncovered drugs, but it doesn't count toward your deductible.

Are there charity grants for Diabetes?

Charities like HealthWell Foundation, PAN Foundation, Good Days, and the National Organization for Rare Disorders provide copay help for specific conditions. Funds often run out mid-year — apply early. We list the specific grants for your condition in the options above.
