Why is the price of Enskyce higher for some patients?

Prices may range from $100 to $200 or more per injection, depending on the pharmacy and the specific dose [2]. It's essential for patients to check with their healthcare provider or pharmacist for the most up-to-date pricing information.

The manufacturer offers a patient assistance program that provides free or reduced-cost Enskyce to eligible patients. Additionally, some non-profit organizations and patient advocacy groups offer financial assistance and access to affordable healthcare services [3].

When does the exclusivity for Enskyce expire?

The patent for Depo-Provera, the branded version of Enskyce, expired in 2016. However, the market exclusivity for Enskyce is expected to expire in 2025 [4]. This may lead to increased competition from other generic manufacturers, potentially reducing prices in the long term.
