Why does this page start at 1 mL?

The FDA package descriptions of this product’s NDCs give different amounts (15 mL, 30 mL). So the card starts at 1 ML; change it to match your prescription.

Medicare

We don’t know yet

No Medicare reference price. Part D: OpenBill did not match this NDC to a usable Medicare Part D spending row. Either Part D has none for it, or the rows that share its name could not safely be tied to it (for example, they mix units, routes or release forms, or the drug is sold over the counter, which Part D does not cover). Part B: This NDC is not in the current quarter’s Medicare Part B NDC-HCPCS crosswalk, so it has no Part B payment limit.

The spread

We don’t know yet

There is no Medicare figure to compare with, so there is no spread.

Cost-plus estimate

$5.48 – $5.55 estimated

NADAC for the pack + 15% + $5.00 fee per fill

This is a model, not a price any pharmacy quoted. Shipping is not included. For a pack this cheap, the $5.00 fee is most of the estimate. How it is worked out

What it is

GENTEAL TEARS 0.1%-0.2%-0.3% is how the CMS NADAC file names this product. The FDA NDC Directory lists it as dextran 70, glycerin, hypromellose, under the trade name “GenTeal Tears (Moderate)”.

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

The labeler, the company named on the label, is Alcon Laboratories, Inc.

FDA lists it under 2 Established Pharmacologic Classes: Non-Standardized Chemical Allergen and Plasma Volume Expander.

The NADAC file of 2026-10-14 prices it under 2 NDCs (National Drug Codes).

NADAC classes it as a brand-name drug (rate-setting class B), and marks it as sold over the counter.

What pharmacies pay

Pharmacies pay $0.42 – $0.48 for 1 mL, depending on the NDC ($0.42498 to $0.48066 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.

NADAC also lists, on the row of one brand NDC, what pharmacies pay for the generic equivalent, a different product: $0.40378 per ML filed.

What to ask at the counter

None of these figures is your price: what you pay depends on your pharmacy, your insurance, coupons and discounts.

What is your cash price for 1 mL? Is it lower than what I would pay through my insurance?
Which NDC (the 11-digit number on the package) is this? Pharmacies pay $0.42498 to $0.48066 per ML for this product, depending on the NDC.
It is sold over the counter, so shelf prices vary from store to store: what does it cost per unit here?
How much is in the package I am getting? This page uses 1 mL; your package may hold a different amount.
These are questions about price, not medical advice. Do not change or stop a medicine without talking to your prescriber or pharmacist.
