Where to Buy Annovera
Annovera, a prescription vaginal ring for birth control, is available only with a doctor's prescription. You can't buy it over the counter. Start by getting a prescription from your healthcare provider, then fill it at these main sources:
- Pharmacies: Major chains like CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Walmart, or Costco carry it. Use their apps or websites to check stock and transfer prescriptions.[1]
- Online Pharmacies: Services like GoodRx, Amazon Pharmacy, or Costco Mail Order deliver it after prescription verification. GoodRx often lists discounts, with prices around $250–$300 for the starter kit (good for 13 cycles).[2][3]
- Manufacturer Programs: TherapeuticsMD (now Viatris) offers patient savings cards on the Annovera website, potentially reducing costs to $0 for eligible insured patients or $65/month uninsured.[4]
Call ahead to confirm availability, as stock varies.
How Much Does Annovera Cost?
