In the maker’s words

“Eligible commercially insured patients may pay as little as $30 with the Savings Card.”

From the maker’s offer on rhopressa.myalcon.com, checked November 2, 2026. Co-pay cards can’t be used with Medicare (including Medicare Advantage), Medicaid, TRICARE or VA.

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 Rhopressa itself, from the same company, sold without the brand name, and usually for less. For now Rhopressa is the only choice; its maker’s savings card can lower what you pay.

Regular genericNot sold

No generic is sold yet. Generics usually come once the brand’s patents and exclusivity end. Until then, the maker’s savings card is the way to pay less.
