Maker’s card or discount card?

A discount card like GoodRx lowers the pharmacy’s cash price, but for a brand-name drug that price often stays high. Compare it with the maker’s card above. You can usually use one or the other on a fill, not both.

Authorized genericNot sold

There isn’t one. An authorized generic is Lumigan itself, from the same company, sold without the brand name, and usually for less. A regular generic is sold, with the same active ingredient: ask the pharmacy for its price.

Regular genericMakers and their savings cards

One company sells a generic of Lumigan that the FDA rates a substitute. A pharmacy fills whichever one it stocks. It has its own savings card, and it works only with its version. To get a certain maker, ask for it by name; most pharmacies can order it in a day or two.

“Before you fill my Lumigan, can you tell me what I’d pay for the brand and for a generic?”

Paying cash? Ask for each one’s cash price. With insurance, ask what your plan charges for each.
