Different insurance means different laws and different savings. For example, Medicare patients cannot use manufacturer copay cards (federal law) — but the manufacturer almost always has a Patient Assistance Program that gives the drug free.

About Restasis MultiDose and its cost

What is this medication? Restasis MultiDose is a prescription ophthalmic emulsion used to increase tear production in patients whose tear production is suppressed due to ocular inflammation. This condition is often associated with keratoconjunctivitis sicca, more commonly known as chronic dry eye. The medication contains the active ingredient cyclosporine, which works as an immunomodulator to help manage the inflammation that interferes with the eyes' ability to stay moist.

The MultiDose version of this medication provides the same preservative-free formula as single-use vials but in a specially designed bottle that prevents contamination. Unlike over-the-counter artificial tears that only offer temporary relief, this treatment addresses the underlying cause of dryness to help the body produce its own natural tears. It is generally used twice a day, and patients usually need to use the medication consistently for several months to achieve the full therapeutic effect.

Restasis MultiDose is made by AbbVie. 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 Restasis MultiDose?

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 Restasis MultiDose?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Restasis MultiDose?

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 Dry Eye Syndrome?

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.
