Over the counter
You may not need a pharmacy for this at all.
carboxymethylcellulose sodium 0.01 MG/MG / glycerin 0.009 MG/MG Ophthalmic Gel is sold over the counter. The prices below are what pharmacies pay to dispense it on a prescription — the same active ingredient is on the shelf at a supermarket, discount store, or dollar store, usually as a store brand, for a small fraction of that. Dollar Tree, Aldi, Walmart and Costco all carry store-brand versions of common OTC medicines.
Check the strength before you switch. Prescribed strengths are often higher than what is sold on a shelf — the shelf box may be a lower dose per tablet, so you would not be taking the same thing at 1 count. Ask your pharmacist or prescriber to confirm the shelf product matches what you were prescribed.
Where to buy
No direct pricing could be found for this product.
That is a gap in what we can see, not proof the drug is expensive. Our feeds cover generics heavily and brand-name or extended-release products thinly, so a specific form often has no listing at all.
Worth trying: , which we usually do have a price for. A discount card is also worth checking — see below.
If none of these work
A discount card sometimes beats the counter price — and sometimes doesn't. Ours is below: pick your pharmacy, show the voucher, pay that price. It is free and needs no membership. Other card companies are linked below to check yourself, because they do not permit us to display their prices. Their cards are free too, but the lowest figure they advertise can be a members’ price on a paid monthly plan, so read what the number on their page actually asks for.

Manufacturer programmes cover many uninsured people, often for nothing. A few questions about income and insurance — none of it stored.
