Vyzulta Coupons & Prices

Looking for a Vyzulta coupon? Vyzulta (latanoprostene bunod ophthalmic solution) is a brand-name, once-daily eye drop that lowers high pressure inside the eye in people with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. No generic is widely available at pharmacies yet, so the price can be high without help. Enter your ZIP above to see today's Rx.com cash price at pharmacies near you — no insurance needed. Below we explain how Vyzulta works, how to save on it, and how it compares to other glaucoma eye drops.

What is Vyzulta and how does it work?

Vyzulta is the brand name for latanoprostene bunod ophthalmic solution, a prostaglandin analog eye drop. It is FDA-approved to reduce intraocular pressure (the pressure inside the eye) in adults with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. High eye pressure can damage the optic nerve over time, so lowering it helps protect your vision.

You use Vyzulta as one drop in the affected eye or eyes once a day, in the evening. It lowers pressure by helping fluid (aqueous humor) drain out of the eye more easily, working through both a nitric oxide pathway in the eye's drainage meshwork and the uveoscleral route. It's important to know that Vyzulta controls eye pressure but does not cure glaucoma or ocular hypertension, so most people keep using it long-term as directed by their eye doctor.

Vyzulta cost and savings: manufacturer card vs. Rx.com cash coupon

Vyzulta is still sold as a brand-name drop, and a lower-cost generic is not yet widely stocked at pharmacies, so the cash price without insurance can be significant. There are two main ways to save. The manufacturer, Bausch + Lomb, offers a Vyzulta Savings Program for eligible patients — you can check current terms and eligibility at the official Vyzulta savings and support page. Manufacturer copay cards like this are generally limited to people with commercial (private) insurance and are typically not available to those with Medicare, Medicaid, or other government coverage. Terms and any savings amounts vary and are set by the manufacturer, so always confirm on their site.

If you are uninsured, on Medicare, or the manufacturer card is declined, an Rx.com cash coupon can help instead. It's a discount on the cash price you can use at the pharmacy counter — just enter your ZIP above to see today's price near you and bring the coupon to your pharmacist. Bausch + Lomb also runs a patient assistance program (the Bausch Access Program) that may help qualifying patients who cannot afford their medication; see bauschaccessprogram.com for details.

Vyzulta alternatives and how it compares

Vyzulta belongs to the prostaglandin analog family of glaucoma drops. Several related options are also used to lower eye pressure, and some have lower-cost generics, which can be a big savings lever. Talk with your eye doctor about which is right for you — do not switch drops on your own.

• latanoprost and its brand Xalatan — a widely used, once-daily prostaglandin analog available as a low-cost generic.
• bimatoprost and its brand Lumigan — another prostaglandin analog eye drop.
• travoprost and its brand Travatan Z — a further once-daily option in this class.
• Xelpros — a preservative-free form of latanoprost.
• Rocklatan — a combination drop pairing latanoprost with a second pressure-lowering ingredient.

Vyzulta safety and side effects

Vyzulta has no boxed warning. The most common side effects are eye redness (conjunctival hyperemia), eye irritation, eye pain, and pain where the drop is placed. Like other prostaglandin analogs, it can cause gradual and likely permanent changes to iris color (a browning of the eye), and darkening of the eyelid skin and eyelashes. It may also increase the length, thickness, and number of your eyelashes; these lash changes are usually reversible after stopping. Vyzulta can, less commonly, cause swelling in the back of the eye (macular edema, including cystoid macular edema), or eye inflammation (iritis or uveitis), so tell your doctor if you have a history of these conditions. As a general caution for this class of eye drops, prostaglandin analogs should be used carefully in people with a history of eye herpes (herpetic keratitis); mention it to your eye doctor if that applies to you.

A few practical tips: Vyzulta contains benzalkonium chloride, which soft contact lenses can absorb — remove your lenses before using the drop and wait 15 minutes before putting them back in. If you use other eye drops, space them at least 5 minutes apart.
