What it is

TIMOLOL MALEATE 0.5% EYE DROPS is how the CMS NADAC file names this product. The FDA NDC Directory lists it as “timolol maleate” and “timolol maleate ophthalmic”, 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 10 labelers (the companies named on the label) for its NDCs, among them Micro Labs Limited, Pacific Pharma, Inc. and Sandoz Inc.

FDA’s Established Pharmacologic Class for it is beta-Adrenergic Blocker.

The NADAC file of 2026-10-14 prices it under 23 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

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 $0.71967 to $1.046 per ML for this product, depending on the NDC.
• 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.
