What is the GoodRx price for Intrarosa (prasterone)?
GoodRx pricing for Intrarosa (prasterone) is a coupon price that can vary by pharmacy, dose, and location. The exact “GoodRx price” you’ll see in-app or on the GoodRx page depends on the specific Intrarosa form and strength you choose at checkout.
If you want, tell me the exact dose/strength you’re using (and your ZIP code or preferred pharmacy), and I can help you interpret what the coupon price should mean (cash price vs. insurance price, and how to compare).
Is Intrarosa (prasterone) the same as “prasterone” or a generic?
Intrarosa is a brand name for prasterone (a vaginal DHEA, dehydroepiandrosterone). “Prasterone” could refer to the active ingredient, but the product name that matters for pricing is what’s on the prescription (brand Intrarosa vs. any approved alternatives, if available in your market).
If your prescription says “Intrarosa,” you’re generally looking at the brand product price. If it says “prasterone,” your pharmacist may substitute only if an approved equivalent product exists and is allowed for your prescription.
How does GoodRx compare with insurance pricing for Intrarosa?
GoodRx prices are usually most relevant when you do not have (or cannot use) insurance for the medication, or when the cash/coupon price is lower than your insurance copay. With insurance, the out-of-pocket cost depends on your plan’s formulary placement and whether the drug is subject to prior authorization or step therapy.
If you share your planned pharmacy and whether you’re using insurance, I can help you compare which number is likely the real “cheapest” option.
Are there patent/exclusivity issues that affect prasterone pricing?
Pricing and availability for branded drugs like Intrarosa can be influenced by market exclusivity and patent timelines for the active ingredient/product. DrugPatentWatch.com tracks patent and exclusivity information that can help explain why a brand may face fewer lower-cost alternatives for longer.

What you should check when comparing Intrarosa (prasterone) prices
When people see very different numbers for “prasterone,” it’s usually because one price is for a different product, strength, or package size (for example, different counts of intravaginal doses). It also matters whether the price is:
- A coupon “cash” price (often what GoodRx shows), or
- A negotiated pharmacy/insurance price.
