Can't find Menopur at your pharmacy? Use these tools and tips to locate Menopur in stock near you, including Medfinder, specialty pharmacies, and more.
When you're in the middle of a fertility treatment cycle, the last thing you need is to spend hours on the phone tracking down your medication. But for many patients prescribed Menopur (Menotropins), that's become the reality in 2026. Supply has been tight, and not every pharmacy carries this specialty injectable.
The good news? There are concrete steps you can take to find Menopur faster. In this guide, we'll walk you through the best tools and strategies to locate Menopur in stock near you — so you can focus on what matters most.
Before we get into solutions, a quick note on why this is happening: Menopur is the only human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG) widely available in the U.S., and demand for fertility treatments has been growing faster than supply. The medication requires specialized manufacturing and refrigeration, and there's no generic alternative. For the full backstory, see our post on why Menopur is so hard to find.
Medfinder is a free tool that lets you search for medication availability across pharmacies in your area. Instead of calling pharmacy after pharmacy, you can check online which locations near you currently have Menopur in stock.
Here's how to use it:
This alone can save you hours. And if you want a more detailed walkthrough of checking pharmacy stock, read our guide on how to check if a pharmacy has Menopur in stock.
Most retail pharmacies — CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid — don't routinely stock fertility injectables like Menopur. Even when they can order it, turnaround times can be unpredictable during supply crunches.
Specialty fertility pharmacies are different. They focus exclusively (or primarily) on fertility medications, maintain larger inventories of drugs like Menopur, and understand the time-sensitive nature of IVF cycles. Some well-known specialty fertility pharmacies include:
Your fertility clinic almost certainly has preferred pharmacy partners. Ask your nurse coordinator which pharmacies they recommend — clinics often know in real time which ones have stock.
Timing matters. If you know your cycle start date is approaching, don't wait until the last minute to fill your prescription. Here's how to work the timing in your favor:
If you've tried all of the above and still can't locate Menopur, here are additional options:
Your reproductive endocrinologist may be able to substitute part or all of your Menopur dose with an alternative gonadotropin. Gonal-F (follitropin alfa) and Follistim AQ (follitropin beta) are recombinant FSH products that are more widely available. If your protocol requires LH activity (which Menopur provides), your doctor can add low-dose hCG or Pergoveris to compensate. Learn more in our post on alternatives to Menopur.
Many specialty pharmacies ship fertility medications overnight with cold-chain packaging. If local pharmacies are out, expanding your search to pharmacies in other states can open up new options. Medfinder can help with this — just broaden your search radius.
Ferring, the manufacturer of Menopur, has a patient services team that may be able to help you locate stock or connect you with pharmacies that have supply. You can reach them through their HEART Program (Helping to Expand Access to Reproductive Therapy) at ferringfertility.com.
Finding the medication is one hurdle; paying for it is another. A single vial of Menopur runs about $90 to $130, and a full IVF cycle can require $1,800 to $5,200 or more in Menopur alone. Check out our post on how to save money on Menopur for coupons, discounts, and patient assistance programs.
Finding Menopur in 2026 requires a bit more effort than filling a typical prescription, but it's absolutely doable. Start with Medfinder to check pharmacy stock, lean on specialty fertility pharmacies, and communicate early with your fertility clinic. The sooner you start looking, the smoother your cycle will go.
