Questions

Why is the comparison with Medicare for FLUOROMETHOLONE 0.1% 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 Fluorometholone / Fluorometholone: 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.
