The spread

2.1× – 2.6× estimated

Medicare paid between 2.1× and 2.6× what pharmacies pay, depending on the NDC.

Part D averages every strength and form sold under “Bepotastine Besilate” into one figure, so it is not specific to this NDC.

What it is

BEPOTASTINE 1.5% EYE DROP is how the CMS NADAC file names this product. The FDA NDC Directory lists it as “bepotastine besilate” and “bepotastine besilate ophthalmic solution 1.5%”, as its NDCs’ listings variously write the nonproprietary name.

FDA gives its dosage form as “solution/ drops” and “solution” and its route as ophthalmic.

FDA lists 5 labelers (the companies named on the label) for its NDCs, among them Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc., Bausch & Lomb Incorporated and Alembic Pharmaceuticals Inc.

FDA’s Established Pharmacologic Class for it is Histamine-1 Receptor Antagonist.

The NADAC file of 2026-10-14 prices it under 10 NDCs (National Drug Codes).

NADAC classes it as a generic drug (rate-setting class G), and does not mark it as sold over the counter.

What pharmacies pay

Pharmacies pay $8.29 – $10.49 for 1 mL, depending on the NDC ($8.28568 to $10.48665 per ML), by the CMS NADAC file of 2026-10-14; that price took effect on 2026-09-23. That is what pharmacies pay their suppliers, not what they charge you.

NADAC’s explanation codes for it: 1, calculated from the most recently completed pharmacy survey; 5, calculated based on package size; 6, the CMS Covered Outpatient Drug Product File S/I/N drug category was not applied when grouping drugs for the calculation.

Questions

Why is the comparison with Medicare for BEPOTASTINE 1.5% EYE DROP labelled estimated?
Beyond what the card shows, the records give these reasons: The Part D figure covers 2024-01-01 to 2024-12-31; the NADAC price is from the file of 2026-10-14. Part D spending basis, as the Part D record states it: Part D 2024 average spend per dosage unit for Bepotastine Besilate / Bepotastine Besilate: all makers, strengths, forms and routes combined, claim-weighted; gross cost incl. dispensing fees and patient pay, before rebates. Unit taken as NADAC's ML. Joined on generic name.
Why does this page start at 1 mL?
The FDA package descriptions of this product’s NDCs give different amounts (5 mL, 10 mL). So the card starts at 1 ML; change it to match your prescription.
