Key Takeaways:
- Besivance (besifloxacin 0.6%) is FDA-approved for the treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis caused by susceptible isolates in patients ≥1 year old. Newer-generation fluoroquinolone designed specifically for ophthalmic use — covers gram-positive (including methicillin-resistant strains in vitro), gram-negative, and atypical organisms. DuraSite vehicle prolongs ocular contact time.
- Without assistance, brand Besivance costs commonly run approximately $180–$280 per bottle.
- Through AffordMyPrescriptions, qualifying patients can access Besivance for a flat $69.95 per month.
- Generic fluoroquinolone alternatives widely available very cheap: moxifloxacin 0.5% (Vigamox generic, Moxeza generic), gatifloxacin 0.5% (Zymaxid generic), ciprofloxacin 0.3% (Ciloxan generic), ofloxacin 0.3% (Ocuflox generic), levofloxacin 0.5% (Quixin generic), gentamicin (generic — aminoglycoside), erythromycin ointment (generic — broader coverage option).

What is Besivance Prescription Assistance Program?
The Besivance Patient Assistance Program is a manufacturer-sponsored initiative that helps eligible patients access Besivance (used for treating bacterial conjunctivitis caused by susceptible organisms) at little or no cost when they meet specific income, insurance, and clinical criteria. The program is free to apply for, but the enrollment process involves detailed applications, ophthalmology or primary care coordination, supporting documentation, and ongoing renewal — which can be overwhelming when you are managing an acute eye infection.
At AffordMyPrescriptions, our Patient Advocates handle the entire Besivance PAP enrollment for a flat $69.95 per month. We complete the application, coordinate with your prescriber for required medical documentation, follow up with the manufacturer’s program until approval, manage your refills, and handle annual re-certification — so you never face a gap in your Besivance bacterial conjunctivitis therapy.
AffordMyPrescriptions eliminates that burden. For a flat $69.95 per month, our Patient Advocates handle every step of your Besivance enrollment — from the initial application through ongoing refills and annual re-enrollment — so you never face a gap in your eye-infection treatment.
Pharmacy Price Comparison
- Without assistance, Besivance costs nearly $200–$300 per bottle at retail pharmacies. Discount cards and pharmacy coupons offer some relief, but they don't come close to what a Patient Assistance Program provides if you qualify. The table below compares typical retail pricing across major pharmacies to what you'd pay with our Besivance advocacy service:
| Pharmacy(With Coupon) | PrIce (30-Day)* | You Save W/ Us |
|---|---|---|
| Walgreens (brand) | ~$150.00 | Save substantially |
| CVS Pharmacy(brand) | ~$140.00 | Save substantially |

| Costco(brand) | ~$140.00 | Save substantially |
| Generic moxifloxacin 0.5% | ~$25/bottle | Generic fluoroquinolone alt |
*Retail prices are estimates based on public data and vary by pharmacy. Coupon prices from GoodRx and SingleCare as of April 2026. AffordMyPrescriptions Advocacy Service bypasses pharmacy pricing entirely by using the manufacturer’s assistance program to secure your Besivance — independent of dosage or retail price.

Why choose us For Your Besivance Prescription Program?
The Besivance Patient Assistance Program is free to apply and provides medication at no cost if approved. But the process involves detailed applications, prescriber coordination, documentation, and ongoing management — applications that are commonly delayed or denied when paperwork is incomplete. Our $69.95 per month covers full advocacy: applications, doctor coordination, documentation, refill management, and re-enrollment — so you focus on your health, not paperwork. For most uncomplicated bacterial conjunctivitis cases, generic fluoroquinolone eye drops (moxifloxacin, ciprofloxacin) provide equivalent coverage at a fraction of the cost.

Understanding Besivance:
Besivance is a fourth-generation fluoroquinolone designed specifically for topical ophthalmic use — not available as a systemic medication. Its DuraSite mucoadhesive vehicle prolongs ocular contact time, supporting three-times-daily dosing. Broad coverage including some methicillin-resistant strains in vitro.
How Besivance Works:
Bacterial conjunctivitis (pink eye from bacterial infection) presents with purulent discharge, redness, and irritation. Common pathogens include Staphylococcus species, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and others.
Besifloxacin (Besivance) inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase (topoisomerase II) and topoisomerase IV — preventing DNA replication and triggering bacterial cell death. The DuraSite vehicle prolongs contact time, allowing three-times-daily dosing with sustained antibacterial effect. Many bacterial conjunctivitis cases resolve in 5–7 days with antibiotic drops.
Form and Use:
Besivance ophthalmic suspension 0.6%. Shake well before use. 1 drop in affected eye(s) three times daily, ideally separated by 4–12 hours, for 7 days. Wash hands before instillation. Avoid contact between dropper tip and any surface to prevent contamination.
Generic Availability:
No generic Besivance. Generic fluoroquinolone eye drop alternatives: moxifloxacin 0.5% (Vigamox/Moxeza generic), gatifloxacin 0.5% (Zymaxid generic), ciprofloxacin 0.3% (Ciloxan generic), ofloxacin 0.3% (Ocuflox generic), levofloxacin 0.5% (Quixin generic). Other antibacterials: gentamicin (aminoglycoside, generic), tobramycin (Tobrex generic), erythromycin ointment, sulfacetamide. For severe or refractory cases: ophthalmology referral for culture-guided therapy. Many cases of conjunctivitis are viral (especially adenovirus) and do not benefit from antibiotic drops — supportive care only.
Warnings:
Local irritation (transient burning or stinging), conjunctival redness, headache. Anaphylaxis and serious hypersensitivity reactions are rare. Bacterial resistance can develop with inappropriate use — limit to confirmed bacterial conjunctivitis, complete prescribed course, and avoid casual use. Not for systemic infections. Not for use in viral or fungal conjunctivitis. Contact lens wear: discontinue during active infection.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
How Much Does Besivance Cost Without Insurance?
Brand Besivance $180–$280 per bottle. Generic moxifloxacin 0.5% costs $20–$40; generic ciprofloxacin 0.3% costs $10–$20.
What is the difference between Besivance and generic moxifloxacin eye drops?
Both are fluoroquinolone antibacterials with broad coverage. Generic moxifloxacin is dosed three times daily; Besivance is also three times daily. In most uncomplicated bacterial conjunctivitis cases, generic moxifloxacin or ciprofloxacin provides equivalent clinical outcomes at much lower cost.
Why aren't generic antibiotic eye drops tried before Besivance?
They typically are — generic fluoroquinolones (moxifloxacin, ciprofloxacin) are first-line for uncomplicated bacterial conjunctivitis in most insurance formularies. Besivance is reserved for cases where the prescriber specifically wants its broader gram-positive coverage or DuraSite vehicle benefits.
Can Besivance be used in pediatric patients?
Yes — approved for patients ≥1 year old. Same dosing (three times daily) for pediatric and adult use.
What are the most common side effects of Besivance?
Mild transient burning or stinging on instillation, conjunctival redness, headache, eye irritation. Hypersensitivity reactions are rare. Bacterial resistance is a concern with inappropriate or prolonged use.Mild transient burning or stinging on instillation, conjunctival redness, headache, eye irritation.

Hypersensitivity reactions are rare. Bacterial resistance is a concern with inappropriate or prolonged use.
What is the difference between bacterial and viral conjunctivitis?
Bacterial conjunctivitis usually presents with thick yellow or green discharge, while viral conjunctivitis typically has watery discharge, may involve both eyes, and often follows a cold. Most pink eye is viral and doesn’t benefit from antibiotic drops. See your clinician for proper diagnosis.
What happens if my Besivance Patient Assistance Program application is denied?
We help explore generic moxifloxacin (Vigamox generic — very cheap), generic ciprofloxacin (Ciloxan generic — even cheaper), generic ofloxacin/levofloxacin, manufacturer copay programs, and primary care evaluation to confirm bacterial vs viral conjunctivitis (avoiding unnecessary antibiotics).
