Buying from a pharmacy outside the U.S.? Read Is it safe to order Sensipar from Canada?
90-day cost = 90 tablets at the usual dose of 1 a day, bought as one order of whole packs with one shipping fee. 90-day cost is worked out from each pharmacy's real order size so different pack sizes compare fairly. Orders are kept within a 3-month supply (92 days); a pack that is larger than that is marked and not used for the lowest price at the top of this page. Prices checked Nov 11, 2026 on each pharmacy's website, in U.S. dollars. Savings compare with the U.S. list price of the same strength (30 mg); rows for other strengths show no saving. The lowest price at the top of this page uses only packs whose maker the pharmacy names, or whose product country and ships-from country it states. Price is the pharmacy's own price for one pack, as shown on its website (converted to U.S. dollars when it prices in Canadian dollars). Delivery is the pharmacy's own estimate for the shipping option shown, not a promise; some pharmacies count from when they receive your prescription or ship the order. Total = the packs needed + shipping. When those packs don't add up to exactly 90 days, the row shows what that order costs and, under it, what it works out to for 90 days; we sort by the 90-day amount so pack sizes compare fairly. Prices change often; confirm at checkout. U.S. rows: the cash price a U.S. pharmacy published on its own website on the date shown, for whole fills, plus its standard shipping; no insurance or discount cards. “Fee not published” means the pharmacy doesn’t show its shipping fee before checkout, so that row’s total is the medicine price only.

Sensipar (cinacalcet) tablets, 30, 60 and 90 mg, for certain parathyroid conditions. FDA-approved generic cinacalcet is sold in the U.S.
Sensipar cost at a glance
- FDA status: on November 11, 2026, Drugs@FDA and the Orange Book listed all three Sensipar strengths as discontinued (Drugs@FDA). But Amgen's FDA drug listing is still active, with marketing end dates between December 31, 2027 and February 28, 2028 (FDA drug listing), and Amgen still reports a 2026 list price, so we treat the brand as still sold for now.
- Generic Sensipar is sold in the U.S. The FDA has approved generic cinacalcet tablets (30, 60 and 90 mg) from several companies, rated equivalent to Sensipar (FDA Orange Book). The Texas 2026 drug price filing lists 30-tablet bottles of generic cinacalcet 30 mg at list prices from $14.86 (Ascend) to $318.83 (Exelan) (Texas DSHS).
- U.S. list price: $806.70 for a bottle of 30 tablets of brand Sensipar 30 mg (the maker's wholesale price before discounts). The 60 mg lists at $1,613.40 and the 90 mg at $2,420.10 per 30 (Texas DSHS).
- How we count: 1 tablet a day. For secondary hyperparathyroidism in adults on dialysis, the label starts at 30 mg once a day. For the label's other two uses, it is taken 2 to 4 times a day, so your count may differ.
- From pharmacies we compared: $158.93 to $709.95 for 90 days of generic cinacalcet 30 mg, shipping included (checked Nov 11, 2026). In Canada, Sensipar was cancelled in September 2024 (Health Canada), so Canadian brand packs are not listed here.
- With Medicare: your cost depends on your Part D plan. In 2026, deductibles are capped at $615 and yearly out-of-pocket costs for covered drugs at $2,100 (Medicare.gov).

On November 11, 2026, Drugs@FDA showed the brand as discontinued, while Amgen's FDA drug listing was still active with marketing end dates in late 2027 and early 2028, so we treat it as still sold for now.

These are list prices (the maker's wholesale price before discounts); what a pharmacy charges can differ.
Sensipar cost with Medicare in 2026
In 2026, Part D plans can charge a deductible of up to $615, and once your out-of-pocket spending on covered Part D drugs reaches $2,100, you pay nothing more for covered drugs for the rest of the year. What you pay for generic cinacalcet tablets depends on your plan's drug list.
| Medicare Part D | What Sensipar costs | Source |

Yes. The FDA has approved generic cinacalcet tablets (30, 60 and 90 mg) from companies including Cipla, Aurobindo, Strides, Piramal, Teva, Alkem, Accord and Dr. Reddy's, all rated equivalent to Sensipar. The first approvals date from March 8, 2018.

What is Sensipar used for?
Sensipar (cinacalcet) is a calcimimetic, a medicine that lowers parathyroid hormone. According to its FDA label (DailyMed), it is used to treat:
- Secondary hyperparathyroidism (an overactive parathyroid) in adults with chronic kidney disease who are on dialysis.
- High blood calcium in adults with parathyroid cancer.
- High blood calcium in adults with primary hyperparathyroidism who would need parathyroid surgery but can't have it.
Sensipar comes as 30 mg, 60 mg and 90 mg tablets, taken with food or shortly after a meal and swallowed whole. For secondary hyperparathyroidism, the label starts at 30 mg once a day and adjusts the dose every 2 to 4 weeks based on blood tests, up to 180 mg once a day. For the other two uses it starts at 30 mg twice a day. The label says it is not for people with chronic kidney disease who are not on dialysis, and it must not be started when blood calcium is below the normal range. The label has no boxed warning. Your prescriber decides which medicine is right for you.
Is it safe to order Sensipar from Canada?
Many Americans do, but U.S. law and customs rules apply, and for Sensipar, compare the U.S. price of FDA-approved generic cinacalcet tablets before you order. Federal law generally doesn't allow individuals to import prescription drugs, though under its personal importation policy the FDA has long used enforcement discretion for some personal-use shipments, generally no more than a three-month supply (FDA). Congress has said enforcement against individuals should focus on imports that pose a significant threat to public health (Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act section 804(j)(1), 21 U.S.C. 384(j)(1)). You need a prescription from your doctor. New U.S. Customs rules for mailed orders start January 20, 2027. In Canada, Health Canada lists Amgen's Sensipar as cancelled since September 16, 2024 (Health Canada). In the European Union, where Amgen sold it as Mimpara, the approval was withdrawn on December 18, 2025 at Amgen's request for commercial reasons (European Medicines Agency).

Frequently asked questions
How much is Sensipar without insurance?
The U.S. list price of brand Sensipar 30 mg is $806.70 for 30 tablets ($2,420.10 for 90 days), in the Texas 2026 drug price filing. Licensed pharmacies abroad charged from $816.38 for 90 days of brand Sensipar 30 mg in our latest check (Nov 11, 2026). FDA-approved generic cinacalcet is also sold in the U.S., from $14.86 list for 30 tablets of 30 mg.
Is there a generic Sensipar?
Yes. The FDA has approved generic cinacalcet tablets (30, 60 and 90 mg) from several companies, rated equivalent to Sensipar. The generic name is cinacalcet. Ask your pharmacist whether a generic can fill your prescription.
Was Sensipar discontinued?
The FDA's own sources disagree. Drugs@FDA and the Orange Book list Sensipar 30, 60 and 90 mg as discontinued, but Amgen's FDA drug listing is still active, with marketing end dates between December 31, 2027 and February 28, 2028, and the 2026 Texas price filing lists the brand. So we treat it as still sold for now. Generic cinacalcet is widely sold. Health Canada lists Sensipar as cancelled since September 2024, and the EU approval of Mimpara was withdrawn in December 2025.
What is the price of generic cinacalcet?
In the Texas 2026 drug price filing, 30-tablet bottles of generic cinacalcet 30 mg are listed at $14.86 (Ascend) to $318.83 (Exelan), depending on the maker. These are list prices; what a pharmacy charges can differ, so ask your pharmacist.
Is there a Sensipar coupon or savings card?
eDrugSearch doesn't offer coupons of its own. FDA-approved generic cinacalcet tablets are sold here; ask your pharmacist for the cash price. If you have Medicare and limited income, Extra Help can lower what you pay for prescriptions.
How much does Sensipar cost with Medicare?
It depends on your Part D plan's drug list. In 2026, Part D deductibles are capped at $615 and out-of-pocket costs for covered drugs at $2,100 a year. People with limited income can apply for Extra Help.
What strengths does Sensipar come in?
Sensipar tablets come in 30 mg, 60 mg and 90 mg (light green, marked AMG), and generic cinacalcet is sold in the same three strengths. Our price table counts every pack in 90-day amounts at 1 tablet a day.
Is Mimpara the same as Sensipar?
Mimpara is the name Amgen used for cinacalcet in the European Union. The European Commission withdrew its approval on December 18, 2025, at Amgen's request, for commercial reasons. Packs made for other countries are not FDA-approved.
