Muro 128 can cost $20-$35 without insurance. Learn how to save with coupons, discount cards, generics, and patient assistance programs in 2026.
If you use Muro 128 to manage corneal edema, you know it's not the most expensive medication out there — but it's not free, either. At $20 to $35 per bottle or tube without insurance, the costs add up, especially if you use it daily. And if your insurance doesn't cover it, or if you're paying out of pocket, every dollar matters.
In this guide, we'll break down what Muro 128 costs in 2026, and walk you through every way to save — from discount cards and coupons to generic alternatives and patient assistance programs.
Here's what you can expect to pay at the pharmacy counter without insurance coverage:
Prices vary by pharmacy and location. Large chain pharmacies may charge more than independent pharmacies. The ointment and drops are similarly priced, though the ointment can be harder to find due to ongoing supply issues.
The single easiest way to save money on Muro 128 is to switch to the generic version. Generic Sodium Chloride 5% ophthalmic solution and ointment contain the exact same active ingredient at the same concentration — they just cost less.
That's a savings of $5 to $15 per unit compared to brand-name Muro 128. Over a year of regular use, the savings can really add up. Ask your doctor to write your prescription generically, or ask your pharmacist if a generic equivalent is available.

Even if you're filling a brand-name Muro 128 prescription, discount cards can knock the price down significantly. These are free to use and work whether or not you have insurance.
GoodRx is one of the most popular prescription discount platforms. Search for "Muro 128" or "Sodium Chloride 5% ophthalmic" on goodrx.com to see prices at pharmacies near you. GoodRx coupons can reduce the price to $10 to $20 at participating pharmacies.

If you're uninsured or underinsured and struggling to afford your medication, patient assistance programs (PAPs) may be able to help:
Bausch + Lomb, the manufacturer of Muro 128, offers patient assistance for qualifying individuals. Eligibility is typically based on income and insurance status. Contact Bausch + Lomb directly or check their website for application details.
NeedyMeds (needymeds.org) is a nonprofit that maintains a database of patient assistance programs, discount drug cards, and other cost-saving resources. Search for Muro 128 or Sodium Chloride to find applicable programs.
RxAssist (rxassist.org) is another comprehensive database of patient assistance programs. It can help you find manufacturer programs, state programs, and nonprofit resources for prescription cost relief.
RxHope (rxhope.com) connects patients with pharmaceutical company assistance programs. Search for Bausch + Lomb programs to see if Muro 128 is covered.
If you have insurance, check whether Muro 128 or generic Sodium Chloride 5% is on your plan's formulary. Many plans cover it with a copay of $5 to $20. If your plan doesn't cover it, ask your doctor to submit a formulary exception request — especially if you've already tried alternatives.
Prices for the same product can vary by $10 or more between pharmacies in the same city. Use Medfinder to check availability and compare prices at pharmacies near you. Independent pharmacies sometimes offer better pricing than chains.
Warehouse and discount pharmacies like Walmart and Costco often have lower pricing on generic medications. You don't need a Costco membership to use their pharmacy. Generic Sodium Chloride 5% drops may be available for as little as $8 to $15 at these locations.
Mail-order pharmacies can sometimes offer lower prices, especially if your insurance plan has a preferred mail-order benefit. Check with your plan to see if you can get a 90-day supply at a reduced cost.
If your condition allows it, the 2% concentration of Sodium Chloride ophthalmic is generally less expensive and more widely available than the 5%. Not everyone can use the lower concentration, but it's worth discussing with your doctor.
