What it is

BROMFENAC SODIUM 0.09% EYE DRP is how the CMS NADAC file names this product. The FDA NDC Directory lists it as “bromfenac” and “bromfenac ophthalmic solution 0.09%”, as its NDCs’ listings variously write the nonproprietary name.

FDA lists 4 labelers (the companies named on the label) for its NDCs, among them Alembic Pharmaceuticals Inc., Aurobindo Pharma Limited and Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Questions

Why is the comparison with Medicare for BROMFENAC SODIUM 0.09% EYE DRP 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 Bromfenac Sodium / Bromfenac Sodium: 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 1.7 mL?
NADAC prices this product per ML. The FDA NDC Directory’s package description gives 1.7 mL in one package for all 4 NDCs of this product (“1 BOTTLE in 1 CARTON (62332-508-17) / 1.7 mL in 1 BOTTLE”), so the card starts at one package: 1.7 ML. Change it to match your prescription.
