We found Canadian pricing for Flurbiprofen Sodium starting near $0.650 per tablet in USD terms. That's before any shipping charge, which the table above breaks out separately.
Why is Flurbiprofen Sodium (Flurbiprofen) priced differently in the US and Canada?
Drug pricing is set separately in each country through different negotiation, regulatory, and distribution systems, so the same medication can legitimately carry different price tags on either side of the border. In this case, our data shows the US price is actually the lower of the two once a program like Cost Plus Drugs is factored in — the assumption that Canada is always cheaper doesn't hold for every drug.
How does insurance coverage affect the price of Flurbiprofen Sodium?
Your out-of-pocket cost with insurance depends on your specific plan's formulary and copay structure. Since Flurbiprofen Sodium is typically administered by a healthcare provider during a procedure, the cost is often bundled into the facility or surgical fee. In some cases, a pharmacy savings program may offer a price lower than a standard insurance copay. It is advisable to ask the hospital or surgical center's billing department for a detailed cost breakdown and to check if they accept external discount programs for medication costs.
Is there a brand-name version of Flurbiprofen Sodium?
Yes, Flurbiprofen Sodium is the generic name for the medication. The original brand-name version was marketed as Ocufen by Allergan. Both the generic and brand-name formulations contain the same active ingredient. Patients can search for information and potential savings on both versions through various pharmacy information websites and discount program apps.
What is Flurbiprofen Sodium used for?
Flurbiprofen Sodium is a prescription NSAID eye drop used to prevent pupil constriction during eye surgery, a condition known as intraoperative miosis. During procedures like cataract surgery, maintaining a dilated pupil is crucial for the surgeon's visibility and access. Surgical trauma can cause inflammation, leading the pupil to constrict. This medication works by blocking inflammatory substances, thereby helping to keep the pupil dilated. It is administered by a healthcare professional, typically in a series of drops every 30 minutes for two hours prior to surgery.
