About Timolol Maleate Ophthalmic Gel Forming Solution 0.25%, Timolol Maleate Ophthalmic Gel Forming Solution 0.5% and its cost

What is this medication? Timolol maleate ophthalmic gel forming solution is a prescription eye medication used to lower high pressure inside the eye. It is commonly prescribed for patients with conditions such as open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. By reducing intraocular pressure, the medication helps protect the optic nerve from damage, which is vital for preventing vision loss or blindness that can occur when eye pressure remains too high for extended periods.

As a member of the beta-blocker class of drugs, timolol works by decreasing the production of aqueous humor, the fluid naturally found in the front of the eye. The gel-forming aspect of this solution allows it to stay in contact with the eye surface longer than traditional liquid drops. This formulation is designed to provide effective, long-lasting pressure control, often requiring only a single daily application to maintain stable levels of eye pressure.

Timolol Maleate Ophthalmic Gel Forming Solution 0.25%, Timolol Maleate Ophthalmic Gel Forming Solution 0.5% is made by Bausch and Lomb. 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 Timolol Maleate Ophthalmic Gel Forming Solution 0.25%, Timolol Maleate Ophthalmic Gel Forming Solution 0.5%?

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 Timolol Maleate Ophthalmic Gel Forming Solution 0.25%, Timolol Maleate Ophthalmic Gel Forming Solution 0.5%?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Timolol Maleate Ophthalmic Gel Forming Solution 0.25%, Timolol Maleate Ophthalmic Gel Forming Solution 0.5%?

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 Open-Angle Glaucoma?

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.
