About MEDROXYPROGESTERONE ACETATE and its cost
What is this medication? Medroxyprogesterone acetate is a synthetic version of the naturally occurring hormone progesterone. It is used to treat several conditions related to the female reproductive system and menstrual cycle. Common applications include addressing absent or irregular menstrual periods and managing abnormal uterine bleeding. The medication works by mimicking the effects of natural progesterone, which helps to regulate the thickening and shedding of the uterine lining, thereby restoring a more normal hormonal balance.
In addition to regulating menstrual cycles, this medication is frequently used in hormone replacement therapy for postmenopausal women to reduce the risk of uterine cancer when taking estrogen. In different forms and dosages, it is also used as a long-acting contraceptive and for the treatment of certain medical conditions such as endometriosis. It may even be utilized in the management of specific types of hormone-dependent cancers. The specific use and dosage are determined by a healthcare provider based on the underlying condition being treated.
MEDROXYPROGESTERONE ACETATE is made by Pfizer. 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 MEDROXYPROGESTERONE ACETATE?
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 MEDROXYPROGESTERONE ACETATE?
No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But Pfizer has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.
Does my Medicare Part D plan cover MEDROXYPROGESTERONE ACETATE?
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 Irregular Periods?
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.
