How much does norethindrone acetate + ethinyl estradiol cost?
Pricing for norethindrone acetate combined with ethinyl estradiol depends heavily on the exact product (brand vs generic), tablet strength, and the pharmacy and quantity. Without the specific formulation (and whether it’s the brand or a generic Norethindrone acetate/EE pill), there isn’t one reliable “the” price.
What determines the price at the pharmacy?
Prices usually change based on:
- Brand vs generic version of norethindrone acetate/ethinyl estradiol.
- Pack size (28-day vs 21-day blister packs, and whether refills are included).
- Strength (the mg of norethindrone acetate and the mcg of ethinyl estradiol in the specific pill).
- Location and pharmacy pricing (cash price vs insurance copay).
- Discount cards (some lower out-of-pocket costs even without insurance).
Is it a brand-name drug or a generic?
In many cases, norethindrone acetate + ethinyl estradiol is available as a generic; if so, generic pricing is typically lower than brand pricing. To get an accurate number, you need the exact NDC (drug identifier) or at least the product name and strength on the box.

If you tell me any of the following, I can narrow it to the correct drug and strength and give you a more precise pricing reference:
- Product name on the prescription bottle (brand or generic)
- Strength (e.g., norethindrone acetate ___ mg / ethinyl estradiol ___ mcg)
- Pack size (how many tablets)
- Your country (prices differ a lot by market)
