Questions

Why is the comparison with Medicare for FML LIQUIFILM 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 Fml / 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 brand name.
Why does this page start at 5 mL?
NADAC prices this product per ML. The FDA NDC Directory’s package description gives 5 mL in one package for this product’s NDC (“1 BOTTLE, DROPPER in 1 CARTON (11980-211-05) / 5 mL in 1 BOTTLE, DROPPER”), so the card starts at one package: 5 ML. Change it to match your prescription.
