How much does Venofer (iron sucrose) cost?
Venofer (iron sucrose injection) pricing isn’t fixed. It varies by country, dose strength, vial size, and the pharmacy or hospital supply contract. The most reliable way to check a current “out-of-pocket” price is through your local pharmacy or an online price tool that shows the cash price your provider can bill.
What affects the Venofer price most?
Pricing tends to change based on:
- Dose and packaging (how many vials and what size)
- Whether it’s billed under the patient’s insurance vs. cash-pay
- The setting (hospital outpatient infusion vs. physician office vs. pharmacy dispensing)
- Contract pricing and tendered hospital supply arrangements
Is there a cheaper alternative to Venofer?
If your goal is lower cost, ask your clinician/pharmacy about formulary alternatives. Iron sucrose products and other intravenous iron therapies can differ significantly in price and coverage—even when they treat the same condition.
