About Prometrium and its cost

What is this medication? Prometrium is a prescription medication that contains a synthesized version of the female hormone progesterone. It is primarily used as part of hormone replacement therapy in postmenopausal women who have not undergone a hysterectomy. When estrogen is taken alone to manage menopause symptoms, it can cause the lining of the uterus to thicken, which increases the risk of uterine cancer. Prometrium is prescribed alongside estrogen to help protect the uterine lining by balancing the effects of estrogen and reducing the risk of endometrial hyperplasia. In addition to its use in hormone replacement therapy, Prometrium is also used to treat secondary amenorrhea, a condition where a woman of childbearing age stops having regular menstrual periods. This condition often occurs when the body does not produce enough natural progesterone to trigger a normal cycle. By providing a supplemental dose of the hormone, the medication helps to restore a regular menstrual rhythm and induce a period. It is essential to use this medication only under the guidance of a healthcare professional, as it requires specific dosing schedules to mimic the body's natural cycles.

Prometrium is made by Besins Healthcare. 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 Prometrium?

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 Prometrium?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Prometrium?

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 Endometrial Hyperplasia?

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.
