What is the typical price of leuprolide acetate 11.25 mg (1-month) injection?
I don’t have the specific current market price for leuprolide acetate 11.25 mg injections from the information provided here. Drug prices vary by:
- Dose strength and exact formulation label (e.g., 11.25 mg vs 7.5 mg vs 22.5 mg)
- Manufacturer (brand vs any available generics/biosimilars, if applicable)
- Package size (number of injections per carton)
- Country and setting (retail pharmacy vs hospital/clinic acquisition)
- Insurance coverage and pharmacy benefit contracts

How much do patients usually pay out of pocket for this dose?
Out-of-pocket costs depend heavily on insurance status. The same 11.25 mg dose can show very different prices across pharmacies and distribution channels. To get a real number, you’d typically need the exact NDC from the product packaging and then check:
- Your pharmacy’s cash price
- Your insurance copay/coinsurance
- Any patient assistance program eligibility (if you’re using a branded product)
Where can I find the exact price quickly (what info to look for)?
To look up the right item and avoid pricing the wrong strength, use:
- The exact strength: “leuprolide acetate 11.25 mg”
- The form: injection (often depot/extended-release, depending on the product)
- The NDC (National Drug Code) on the label or in the prescription record
- The package quantity (often 1 injection per kit, but it varies by product)
If you share the NDC (or a photo of the label text), I can help you interpret which product it is and what to look for when checking price.
Is 11.25 mg the same as the “3-month” dose or “1-month” dose?
Leuprolide acetate 11.25 mg is commonly associated with a monthly dosing interval, while other strengths (like 22.5 mg) are commonly used for longer intervals. If someone prices the wrong strength, the per-dose cost can look misleading.
