How much does progesterone cost, and what affects the price?
Progesterone prices vary a lot based on the form (pill, injection, gel/cream), dose strength, and whether it’s brand-name or generic. Even within the same form, costs change by:
- Strength and dosing schedule (for example, daily vs. cyclic use)
- Packaging size (number of tablets/vials)
- Supply chain and pharmacy pricing
- Insurance coverage and pharmacy benefit structure
Because “progesterone” can refer to multiple products, the exact cost depends on which one you mean (for example: oral micronized progesterone, compounded progesterone, vaginal gel, or injectable progesterone).
What are common progesterone options and how do their costs differ?
In practice, patients typically see different price levels across:
- Oral progesterone capsules/tablets (often generic micronized progesterone when available)
- Vaginal progesterone products (often vary widely by brand/formulation)
- Injectable progesterone (often priced per vial and can be influenced by availability)
If you tell me the exact product form and strength (or the brand name), I can narrow down what price range people usually pay and what to look for at the pharmacy.

If you’re comparing costs, what should you ask your pharmacy?
When trying to control progesterone costs, ask your pharmacist:
- Is there a generic or lower-cost equivalent for my specific form/strength?
- What’s the cash price vs. the insurance price?
- Are there manufacturer coupons, savings cards, or patient assistance programs?
- Can they dispense the closest equivalent if the exact product is expensive or out of stock?
What info do I need to give you a more precise cost estimate?
Reply with:
1) The form (oral capsules/tablets, injection, vaginal gel/cream/suppository)
2) Strength (e.g., mg)
3) Brand name (if any)
4) Quantity (e.g., 30 capsules, 10 vials)
5) Your location (country/state) and whether you want cash price or with insurance
Then I can help you estimate a realistic cost range and what alternatives usually lower the price.
