Are Latanoprost And Lumigan Equally Effective Eye Drops?
I have been taking Lumigan for several months. I had a 90 day supply. Now I am attempting to renew this prescription and to my surprise the cost is not $l33..vs..$3.70 that I paid previously. My insurance has put me in a new level of costs for prescription. My question is this.. My doctor has sent an order for Latanoprost .005% l drop in each eye at bedtime. My Lumigan was 0.01% also l drop in each eye at bedtime. The dosage on the eyedrops is different. Are they equal in effectilveness?
