Menopur costs $90-$130 per vial without insurance. Learn how to save with discount programs, patient assistance, and other strategies in 2026.

Menopur Is Expensive — But There Are Ways to Save

If you've been prescribed Menopur for your fertility treatment, you've probably already noticed the price tag. At roughly $90 to $130 per vial, and with most IVF cycles requiring 20 to 40 vials, the total cost for Menopur alone can reach $1,800 to $5,200 — and that's just one of several medications in a typical IVF protocol.

The financial burden of fertility treatment is real, and Menopur is often one of the biggest line items. In this guide, we'll break down the actual costs, walk you through every savings option we know of, and help you figure out which ones might work for your situation.

How Much Does Menopur Cost Without Insurance?

Let's start with the numbers:

  • Single vial (75 IU): $90 to $130 at most pharmacies
  • Low-dose IVF cycle (20 vials): approximately $1,800 to $2,600
  • Standard IVF cycle (30 vials): approximately $2,700 to $3,900
  • High-dose IVF cycle (40+ vials): $3,600 to $5,200+

These are cash prices — what you'd pay without any insurance coverage. Prices vary by pharmacy, with specialty fertility pharmacies sometimes offering slightly better per-vial pricing than retail chains.

There is no generic version of Menopur available in the United States. It's a biologically derived product made by Ferring Pharmaceuticals, and no biosimilar has been approved. That means brand-name pricing is the only option.

Coupons and Discount Cards

Unlike many oral medications, fertility injectables like Menopur have limited coupon card options. Here's what's available:

Ferring HEART Program

Ferring Pharmaceuticals offers the HEART Program (Helping to Expand Access to Reproductive Therapy), which is the single most valuable discount resource for Menopur:

  • Discount range: 25% to 75% off retail pricing, depending on financial need and insurance status
  • Eligibility: Available to patients who are uninsured, underinsured, or facing financial hardship
  • How to apply: Through your fertility clinic or directly at ferringfertility.com
  • Potential savings: On a $3,000 Menopur cycle, a 50% discount saves you $1,500

This program is the most impactful way to reduce Menopur costs. Ask your clinic if they're familiar with the application process — many have staff who can help you apply.

Traditional Coupon Cards

Standard prescription discount cards (GoodRx, SingleCare, RxSaver, etc.) have limited effectiveness for Menopur because:

  • Menopur is a specialty injectable that many retail pharmacies don't stock
  • Coupon card pricing is often not significantly lower than cash price for specialty medications
  • Some specialty pharmacies don't accept coupon cards

That said, it's still worth checking. Visit GoodRx or SingleCare to see current pricing at pharmacies near you. Even small per-vial savings add up across an entire cycle.

Patient Assistance Programs

If you're facing significant financial hardship, several organizations offer grants and assistance specifically for fertility medications:

Ferring HEART Program (Compassionate Care)

Beyond the discount program mentioned above, Ferring's HEART Program also includes a compassionate care component for patients with the greatest financial need. This may provide Menopur at deeply reduced costs or, in some cases, at no charge. Eligibility is income-based.

Livestrong Fertility

If you're a cancer patient who needs fertility preservation before treatment, Livestrong Fertility offers discounted or free fertility medications, including gonadotropins. Visit livestrong.org for details.

Baby Quest Foundation

The Baby Quest Foundation awards grants of up to $16,000 for fertility treatment, which can be applied toward medication costs including Menopur. Applications open periodically throughout the year.

NeedyMeds and RxAssist

These databases aggregate patient assistance programs across manufacturers:

  • NeedyMeds.org — search for menotropins to find all available programs
  • RxAssist.org — additional assistance program listings

Other Ways to Save on Menopur

Check Your Insurance Coverage

Before assuming you'll pay cash, verify your insurance benefits. Many patients don't realize their plan covers fertility medications:

  • State mandates: States including Massachusetts, Illinois, New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Maryland, and Rhode Island mandate some level of fertility treatment coverage
  • Employer benefits: Some employers offer fertility benefits through Progyny, Carrot, or Maven, which may cover Menopur
  • Prior authorization: Even if your plan covers fertility medications, Menopur may require prior authorization. Have your clinic submit this as early as possible.

Ask About Preferred Medications

Your insurance plan may prefer (and cover more generously) a different gonadotropin. If switching to Gonal-F or Follistim would save you thousands while achieving similar clinical results, it's worth discussing with your doctor. See our guide on alternatives to Menopur.

Compare Pharmacy Pricing

Prices for Menopur can vary by $5 to $15 per vial across pharmacies. Across 30 vials, that's a potential savings of $150 to $450 just by choosing a different pharmacy. Use Medfinder to compare availability and contact pharmacies directly to ask about per-vial pricing.

Buy Only What You Need

Work with your doctor to estimate your vial count as accurately as possible. Many clinics start with a conservative estimate and prescribe additional vials only as needed based on your response. This avoids paying for unused medication.

Ask About Multi-Vial Discounts

Some specialty pharmacies offer tiered pricing for larger orders. If your doctor can estimate your total cycle needs upfront, ordering in bulk may save you per-vial. Ask your pharmacy if they offer any quantity discounts.

Look Into Shared Risk or Refund Programs

Some fertility clinics offer shared risk programs (sometimes called "money-back guarantee" programs) that bundle medication costs into a package with partial refunds if treatment is unsuccessful. While not a direct Menopur discount, these programs can reduce your overall financial risk.

Final Thoughts

Menopur is a significant expense, but it doesn't have to break the bank. The Ferring HEART Program is the most impactful resource — apply early and through your clinic for the best chance of approval. Beyond that, verify your insurance coverage, compare pharmacy pricing, and explore patient assistance grants.

If cost is a major barrier, talk to your reproductive endocrinologist about your options. There may be alternative medications that achieve similar results at lower cost. And to find Menopur at the best available price near you, use Medfinder.

How much does Menopur cost for a full IVF cycle?

A typical IVF cycle requires 20 to 40 vials of Menopur at $90 to $130 per vial, totaling approximately $1,800 to $5,200. The exact amount depends on your dose and how many days of stimulation you need. This does not include other medications in your protocol.

Does the Ferring HEART Program really work?

Yes. The HEART Program offers 25% to 75% off Menopur for qualifying patients based on financial need and insurance status. On a $3,000 cycle, that could save you $750 to $2,250. Apply through your fertility clinic or at ferringfertility.com.

Can I use a GoodRx coupon for Menopur?

GoodRx lists Menopur pricing, but savings are typically modest for specialty injectables compared to oral medications. It's worth checking, but the Ferring HEART Program will likely offer much larger savings. Not all specialty pharmacies accept discount cards.

Is there a cheaper alternative to Menopur?

Gonal-F and Follistim AQ are priced similarly to Menopur (roughly $80-$120 per 75 IU equivalent), but your insurance may cover them more favorably. Adding low-dose hCG ($50-$150 per vial) to replace Menopur's LH component can sometimes reduce overall costs. Ask your doctor if switching makes sense for your protocol.
