About DORZOLAMIDE HYDROCHLORIDE TIMOLOL MALEATE and its cost

What is this medication? Dorzolamide hydrochloride and timolol maleate is a combination prescription eye drop used to reduce high pressure inside the eye. It is most often prescribed for individuals living with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. By lowering this intraocular pressure, the medication helps prevent potential damage to the optic nerve, which is essential for maintaining healthy vision and preventing permanent sight loss.

The medication contains two active ingredients that work in different ways to decrease the production of fluid within the eye. Dorzolamide functions as a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, while timolol is a beta-blocker, and their combined action more effectively manages the volume of aqueous humor compared to using either drug alone. Patients typically use these drops on a regular schedule to ensure that eye pressure remains within a safe range as directed by their healthcare provider.

DORZOLAMIDE HYDROCHLORIDE TIMOLOL MALEATE is made by Thea. 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 DORZOLAMIDE HYDROCHLORIDE TIMOLOL MALEATE?

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 DORZOLAMIDE HYDROCHLORIDE TIMOLOL MALEATE?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover DORZOLAMIDE HYDROCHLORIDE TIMOLOL MALEATE?

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 Hypertension?

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.
