Restasis for Dry Eye
My insurance has stopped covering Restasis which is very expensive. The generic is $200 a month. Anyone have a suggestion for a substitute? I also take medication for Glaucoma and eye pressure.

I use Goodrich coupon for generic and pay around $85 for 60 vials. I get a days worth of doses out of one vial. Lasts 2 months. You put in your location and then choose one of the pharmacies to have the prescription there and then have them use the codes. Price can change day to day.

What is the Goodrich Coupon? Is it like Good RX program and how do you get it? Thanks, Nancy Camel
I get the generic version through Express Scripts for $13.00 for a 60 day supply. My doctor prescribes it for me through that company and it is delivered to my house. My ophthalmologist also told me about an over the counter, preservative free eye drop called ivizia. I get it through Amazon on the subscribe and save (don't remember the price but it is very affordable). I have been using it at bedtime for about 6 months and using the restasis in the morning. My supply lasts much longer because of this and the dry eyes are so much better. Highly recommend the ivizia! (It is written with a lower case I for some marketing reason!)

Manufactured by Allergan

Yes Restasis is good. But now with Humana Insurance it would cost me $700
