Need a Lupron prescription? Learn which doctors prescribe Lupron, how to find a provider near you, and what to expect at your first appointment in 2026.
If you've been told you need Lupron (Leuprolide Acetate), your next question is probably: Who actually prescribes this? Unlike medications you pick up at a regular pharmacy, Lupron Depot is typically given as an injection in a doctor's office. That means finding the right provider is the first real step in your treatment.
Whether you're dealing with prostate cancer, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, or central precocious puberty in a child, this guide will walk you through exactly how to find a prescribing doctor near you in 2026.
Lupron isn't prescribed by just any physician. The type of doctor you need depends on why you need the medication:
Your primary care doctor can refer you to the right specialist. If you already have a diagnosis, you can often search for specialists directly.
Here are the most effective ways to locate a doctor who prescribes Lupron in your area:
This is the simplest route. Your PCP knows your medical history and can refer you to an in-network specialist. If your insurance requires referrals, you'll need this step anyway.
Most insurers have an online directory where you can search by specialty. Look for urologists, gynecologists, or oncologists depending on your condition. Call ahead to confirm the office administers Lupron Depot — not all do.
Websites like Zocdoc, Healthgrades, and WebMD's physician finder let you search by specialty and location. You can also filter by insurance accepted.
AbbVie, the manufacturer of Lupron, offers a patient support line at 1-855-587-7663. They can help connect you with prescribing providers and answer questions about their savings programs.
If you already have a prescription but are struggling to find the medication in stock, MedFinder can help you locate pharmacies that have Lupron available.
Once you've found a provider, here's what your first visit will typically look like:
Unlike most medications, Lupron Depot doesn't go to a retail pharmacy. Here's what happens next:
Buy-and-bill model: In most cases, your doctor's office orders Lupron directly from a distributor and administers it on-site. You don't pick it up at CVS or Walgreens. Your insurance is billed as a medical benefit (often under Medicare Part B or your plan's medical coverage), not a pharmacy benefit.
Specialty pharmacy route: In some cases, your doctor may send the prescription to a specialty pharmacy, which ships it to the provider's office. This can sometimes cause delays — especially during supply shortages.
Daily Lupron (subcutaneous): If you're on the daily 1 mg injection for IVF, this does go through a pharmacy. You can self-inject at home. This formulation is much less expensive (around $89 for generic Leuprolide).
If your provider's office is having trouble sourcing Lupron, use MedFinder to check pharmacy stock near you.
Finding a doctor who prescribes Lupron is mostly about getting to the right specialist for your condition. Once you're connected with a urologist, gynecologist, oncologist, or endocrinologist, they'll handle the prescribing, ordering, and administering of the medication.
The hardest part for many patients isn't finding a doctor — it's finding the medication itself. If you run into availability issues, MedFinder can help you locate Lupron in stock near you.
