I'm about to get a prescription for estradiol valerate after talking with my doctor, but I'm concerned about the cost. I see people that get their injectable estradiol for like $15/month. Everywhere I see has it for $200. Does anyone know about coupons or any other services?

Hi, I have never understood the quotes that are that low, but as far as coupons are concerned, try goodrx. Fortuneately even though I was prepared to use this I found that my insurance would cover all my hrt. Savings is 'about' 25% I just google "estradiol valerate" in quotes then add on goodrx which puts me right into the goodrx site for that med. Hope that helps, and yeah thats US, not sure where you are. Dani

One last thing, I have read that some meds can be purchased outside the US for very low cost. BUT because these countries of origin have no regulations, anything or very little of something can be in it. Dangerous to say the least.

There are some reputable ones that I've dealt with, especially one in Vanuatu that is pretty reliable. I won't mention names due to rules about self medication but not every online pharmacy is a scam outfit.
