About Polymyxin B Sulfate and Trimethoprim and its cost

What is this medication? Polymyxin B sulfate and trimethoprim is a combination antibiotic eye drop used to treat bacterial infections affecting the surface of the eye, such as acute bacterial conjunctivitis. This medication contains two active ingredients that work in different ways to stop the growth of bacteria, providing a broad spectrum of coverage against many common pathogens. It is only intended for use in treating bacterial eye issues and will not work for viral or fungal infections.

When using these eye drops, it is crucial to follow the specific dosage and duration prescribed by a doctor to ensure the infection is fully resolved. Patients typically experience a reduction in symptoms like eye redness, swelling, and discharge after starting the treatment. Completing the entire course of medication is essential, as stopping early may allow the bacteria to return or lead to the development of antibiotic resistance.

Polymyxin B Sulfate and Trimethoprim 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 Polymyxin B Sulfate and Trimethoprim?

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 Polymyxin B Sulfate and Trimethoprim?

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 Polymyxin B Sulfate and Trimethoprim?

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 Blepharoconjunctivitis?

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.
