Has anyone other than myself ever taken Alphagan (5ML) and then had an increase to (10ML)? My CVS pharmacy charges me double, but the bottle is exactly the same size as a 5ML, the bottle is factory marked as a 10ML and my pharmacy says that it contains twice the amount, even though the bottle is the same size as a 5ML. Anyone ever checked??

No never checked but surely the new 10ml bottle should last twice as long.
If it does you can assume that it contains 10ml...
Often bottles of eye drops are only half full... it becomes quite difficult to put all the required labelling information onto a 5ml bottle.

charile,a 5mg/ml bottle is the percent of the solution.10mg is filled the same except the solution is twice as strong.wasn't the color of the label darker or a different color altogether? your pharmacist should have told you the proper amount to use on the prescription directions either on the box it cane or a computer print out?
