Frequently asked questions

Which is cheaper, Bethkis or Iodine?

Iodine costs pharmacies less to acquire — about $0.07 vs $1.08 per ml, per the CMS NADAC survey. That gap is in the pharmacy's cost of goods, not necessarily in what you pay: your price is set afterwards by your insurer and the pharmacy.

Bethkis contains Tobramycin, while Iodine contains Iodine — they have different active ingredients.
