Androderm is discontinued and unavailable at any price. Learn how to save money on alternative testosterone therapies with coupons, discount cards, and patient assistance programs.
If you're looking for coupons or discounts on Androderm, we have to be honest with you: Androderm has been permanently discontinued and is not available at any pharmacy, at any price, anywhere in the United States.
AbbVie stopped manufacturing Androderm testosterone patches in 2023. No generic exists, and no other company makes testosterone patches. So while we can't help you save money on a product that doesn't exist, we can help you save money on the alternative testosterone therapies you'll need instead.
And here's the silver lining: most alternatives to Androderm are actually less expensive than Androderm ever was.
When Androderm was available, it was one of the pricier testosterone replacement options:
That's a significant expense, especially for a medication most patients take indefinitely. The good news? Every major alternative costs less — sometimes dramatically less.
Here's what you can expect to pay for the most common Androderm alternatives in 2026:
This is by far the most affordable testosterone replacement option. Generic testosterone cypionate is widely available and well-established.
Generic gel is significantly cheaper than brand-name AndroGel and provides the daily topical application that's closest to the patch experience.
Still cheaper than Androderm was, but significantly more expensive than generic gel. Most patients should try generic gel first.
Jatenzo is the most expensive alternative, but it's the only oral option for patients who can't or won't use injections, gels, or nasal formulations.
Even though Androderm is unavailable, discount cards work great for its alternatives — especially generic products:
These programs offer discounted cash prices at participating pharmacies with no membership fee:
For generic testosterone cypionate injections, these cards can often bring the price down to $25–$50 per month — less than a dollar a day for testosterone replacement therapy.
If you're uninsured or underinsured and struggling to afford testosterone therapy, these programs can help:
The single biggest way to save is to use a generic formulation. Generic testosterone cypionate at $30–$100/month is a fraction of what brand-name options cost. Ask your doctor specifically for a generic.
If your insurance covers it, 90-day fills are often cheaper per dose than 30-day fills. This is especially true with mail-order pharmacies.
Prices for the same medication can vary by 50–80% between pharmacies in the same zip code. Use GoodRx or SingleCare to compare before you fill.
If your insurance prefers one testosterone formulation over another, switching to the preferred product can significantly reduce your copay. Your doctor can help identify which products are on your plan's preferred formulary tier.
Compounding pharmacies can prepare testosterone creams and other formulations, sometimes at lower cost than brand-name products. Note that compounded medications are not FDA-approved and insurance typically doesn't cover them.
Androderm's discontinuation is frustrating, but the financial picture for testosterone replacement has a bright side: the most effective alternatives are also the most affordable. Generic testosterone cypionate injections and generic testosterone gel both cost a fraction of what Androderm did — and they're widely available.
Start by talking to your doctor about the most affordable option that fits your medical needs and lifestyle. Then use discount cards to bring the price down even further.
