About ESTRATEST H.S., ESTRATEST F.S. and its cost

What is this medication? Estratest H.S. and Estratest F.S. are prescription combination hormone medications that contain a mixture of esterified estrogens and methyltestosterone. The H.S. version provides a half-strength dose, while the F.S. version provides a full-strength dose of these active ingredients. This medication functions by replenishing hormone levels in women whose bodies are no longer producing sufficient amounts naturally.

The primary use of these drugs is to treat moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms, such as hot flashes and night sweats, associated with menopause. They are generally prescribed for women who have not experienced adequate symptom relief from using estrogen-only therapy. By including an androgen component alongside estrogen, the medication provides an alternative approach for managing menopausal symptoms when standard treatments prove insufficient.

ESTRATEST H.S., ESTRATEST F.S. is made by Solvay. Like most brand-name drugs, it's priced at a high list price — but patients rarely pay that list price. The options above are the real paths most people use to get it affordably.

Common questions

What's the cheapest way to afford ESTRATEST H.S., ESTRATEST F.S.?

It depends on your insurance. On Medicare, apply for the manufacturer's Patient Assistance Program (PAP) — it gives the drug free if you meet income requirements. With private insurance, the manufacturer copay card usually drops your copay to $0-$25. Uninsured patients should compare the PAP with Cost Plus Drugs cash price.

Can I use a copay card with Medicare for ESTRATEST H.S., ESTRATEST F.S.?

No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But Solvay has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover ESTRATEST H.S., ESTRATEST F.S.?

Part D coverage varies by plan. We query the CMS Prescription Drug Plan file to show you what percentage of plans cover it and at what tier. For your exact copay, pick "Medicare" above and check your plan's Summary of Benefits, or log in to Medicare.gov.

How long does a Patient Assistance Program take?

Most PAPs take 2-6 weeks from application to first fill. Ask the manufacturer about a "bridge supply" — many will ship 30 days free while your application is being reviewed so you don't go without the drug.

What if I have a high-deductible plan?

For generics, Cost Plus Drugs cash price is often cheaper than your deductible-phase copay. For brand names, the manufacturer copay card almost always wins. A GoodRx coupon can be a last resort for uncovered drugs, but it doesn't count toward your deductible.

Are there charity grants for Menopause?

Charities like HealthWell Foundation, PAN Foundation, Good Days, and the National Organization for Rare Disorders provide copay help for specific conditions. Funds often run out mid-year — apply early. We list the specific grants for your condition in the options above.
