The short version
15 companies supply this market — deep enough that no single failure threatens the supply. The generic price has fallen 35% in a year, to $197.61 per unit — and generics that get this cheap tend to get abandoned rather than defended. The brand (Lupron Depot) runs $3802.55 per unit — 19× more. One of its named manufacturing plants, Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Limited, failed FDA inspectionwithin the last two years — the agency’s most serious outcome. Put together: this looks like a healthy supply — the boring kind, which is exactly what you want.
