Cost of Ovidrel

[Anonymous]

Last month I ordered Ovidrel from Freedom Pharmacy, which is where my Dr. recommended. I just called and they said they now charge $30 shipping/handling, making the cost jump from $65 to $95.

My insurance doesn't cover it, and I haven't called around - thought I'd check here first. Is this still a decent price?

If not, any suggestions on where to buy?

Thanks!

Have you checked Prosperity Pharmacy? They are located in Fairfax.

Wow! I had been getting it from Freedom Fertility too and I thought it had been $50 total. Once I needed it that same night and got it from Grubbs pharmacy on the hill. It was more expensive but less, I think, than what you're quoting. Give them a call. They have a fertility assistant who called me after to ask how my purchase went. Think her name was Cathy.... She was nice but I had a better price at Freedom so hadn't gone back. Let me know what you find out. If they're raised their prices that much I'll be checking out Grubbs again. Good luck!

Thanks, both of you. I will look into those tomorrow and post what I find.

I got an Ovidrel prescription last month from Grubb Pharmacy, and it was $75. They delivered it to my office in Bethesda with a cold pack for no extra charge, along with a complimentary sharps container. Everything went smoothly.

I think that a while back Freedom Pharmacy was the least expensive choice, but I also noted that their price on this drug has gone way up, especially if you're not ordering any other fertility medicine from them.

OP here. I didn't realize Grubb's delivered - that is great! I just called both Grubb's - $75 and Prosperity - $99.21.

Freedom's price beats both of theirs if you're ordering other drugs, but not if all you're ordering is Ovidrel.

I get mine at Ambulatory Care in Rockville (main SG office building) for $75.
