How much does a box of 2025 Avatrombopag (Avatrombopag, Su Kexin) tablets cost?

Avatrombopag/Avatrombopag is used to treat thrombocytopenia (low platelets in the blood) in adults with chronic liver disease who are scheduled to have medical or dental surgery. It is also used to treat thrombocytopenia in patients with chronic immune thrombocytopenia who have not responded to prior therapy. Avatrombopag works by stimulating the bone marrow to produce more platelets.

Avatrombopag is available only with a doctor's prescription. It is available in 20 mg tablets, which are round, biconvex, yellow film-coated tablets. Treatment with avatrombopag should be started at least 10 days before surgery. The dosage is 2 or 3 tablets daily (depending on platelet count at the start of treatment) for 5 days. It is necessary to perform a blood test on the day of surgery to ensure that platelet counts are adequate and not unexpectedly elevated.

At present, the original drug of avatrombopag has been launched in China and has been added to the Class B medical insurance directory, but only patients who meet certain conditions can enjoy reimbursement benefits. Common specifications on the market include two options: 20 mg 15 tablets per box or 20 mg 10 tablets per box, and the price may reach about 7,000 yuan. At the same time, the price of the original drug is even higher in overseas markets.

Generic drugs of avatrombopag have appeared overseas and have been put on the market. The ingredients of these generic drugs are basically the same as the original drugs sold at home and abroad; for example, a box of generic drugs produced by Laos Pharmaceuticals with a specification of 20mg*30 tablets only costs about 500 yuan (please note that the price may fluctuate due to exchange rate changes and other factors). For more information on overseas drug prices and related information, please consult Yaode Medical Consultants.
