阿瑞匹坦为什么这么贵，阿瑞匹坦多少钱一盒？

Aprepitant is a dose-dependent CYP3A4 inhibitor that is better tolerated than 5-HT3 receptor antagonists. In 2003, aprepitant was launched in the United States. The drug was developed and marketed by Merck. Today let’s take a closer look at why aprepitant is so expensive? How much does a box of Aprepitant cost?

The retail prices of aprepitant capsules purchased from different manufacturers and channels in different regions are also different. Aprepitant can relieve the symptoms of nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy, and can well reduce the pain of patients. It is the best anti-emetic drug. It is a drug imported from abroad and is relatively expensive.

Aprepitant capsules can be purchased in domestic hospital pharmacies, and can be reimbursed by medical insurance, which reduces the financial burden on patients. However, patients can consult the local medical insurance bureau for specific reimbursement. Patients can also obtain overseas drugs through overseas medical service organizations (such as Medical Companion Travel), which are guaranteed to be genuine. Moreover, when purchasing drugs from Medical Companion Travel, you can also learn the details of many oncology drugs, including whether there are generic drugs and the prices of generic drugs. Medical Companion Travel is a professional overseas medical service organization in China that can help patients obtain drugs and provides direct mail from pharmaceutical manufacturers. However, the price of overseas drugs is affected by exchange rate fluctuations and the price is constantly changing. Patients can consult the Medical Companion Travel service staff for the specific price of aprepitant.

Aprepitant inhibits cisplatin-induced acute and delayed phase vomiting and enhances the antiemetic activity of the 5-HT3 receptor antagonist ondansetron and the glucocorticoid dexamethasone against cisplatin-induced vomiting. Patients can use aprepitant to antiemetic during chemotherapy, but aprepitant also has adverse reactions. Common adverse reactions of the drug are constipation, headache, drowsiness, hiccups, anorexia, and increased liver index alanine aminotransferase values. In addition, they also include hair loss, nausea, diarrhea, etc.

When using aprepitant, patients should follow the doctor's instructions and pay attention to their own reactions in a timely manner. If they develop intolerance, they should communicate with their doctor in time to avoid aggravating the original condition.
