How can Americans save money on Epogen?

Written by Shivam Patel, PharmD, BSPS, RPh | Posted August 07, 2018 | Updated December 04, 2020

Epogen (Epoetin alfa) is an injection used to treat low red blood cell count in people who have chronic kidney failure or those going through chemotherapy. Epogen works by helping the tissue inside the bones to produce more red blood cells.

The current price of one vial of Epogen 2000 units/ml in the United States is $41.99 without insurance.

None of the international online pharmacies verified by PharmacyChecker.com currently offer Epogen.

Epogen Patient Assistance

If you are eligible, a patient assistance program can help you afford Epogen. Review the information to see if you qualify. The applications are available in Adobe PDF format and should be mailed directly to the provider of the patient assistance program.
