Leuprolide
- Leuprolide is sold under several brand names (e.g., Lupron, Lupron Depot, Lupron® Micronized) and as a generic product.
- Because it’s a specialty biologic, the out‑of‑pocket cost can be high—often ranging from $1,200 to $4,000 per month for the injectable formulation, depending on dosage and insurance coverage.
- Many insurance plans cover a significant portion of the cost (sometimes 80‑90 %), but patients may still face a deductible or copay.
- Some manufacturers offer patient assistance programs or copay cards that can reduce the net price for qualifying patients.
Norethindrone
- Norethindrone is a synthetic progestin available in oral tablets and a monthly vaginal ring (brand name Annovera).
- The generic tablet is inexpensive: $5–$15 for a one‑month supply in the U.S. (prices vary by pharmacy and location).
- The vaginal ring is pricier: $200–$300 for a 30‑day supply.
- If you have insurance, many plans cover the generic tablets with a small copay, while the ring may be covered at a higher cost or not covered at all, depending on the formulary.
How to find the exact price for you
- Check with your pharmacy – most pharmacies offer free price‑lookup tools on their websites.
- Call your insurance – ask what the copay is for the specific product you’re prescribed, and whether a generic is available.
- Manufacturer’s patient assistance programs – both Pfizer (Leuprolide) and the company that markets Annovera may offer coupons or financial aid.
- Compare online pharmacies – some independent retailers may have lower prices for generics, but always verify that the pharmacy is reputable and requires a prescription.
