My Lupron shots were $13,000 each. Insurance paid for all but $500 for each shot. In U.S.

It's absurd that a 50 year old drug (Lupron was invented in 1973) should be so costly.

Yikes! My monthly Firmagon shots would have been CA $550 (US $400) if I had to pay for them myself, and a month's worth of Orgovyx pills would cost the same. My Erleada would cost about 10× that much (CA $5,500/month, US $4,000) if I had to pay for it.

I thought *those* prices were absurdly high. I guess I'm a bit naïve still.
