How much does Palbociclib/Palbociclib cost per box?

Palbociclib/ Palbociclib belongs to a class of drugs called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of abnormal proteins that signal cancer cells to proliferate. This helps stop or slow the spread of cancer cells.

Palbociclib is used in combination with another drug as an initial treatment for a certain type of hormone-receptor-positive, advanced breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (breast cancer that relies on hormones such as estrogen to grow). Palbociclib is also used with fulvestrant (Faslodex) to treat a certain type of hormone-receptor-positive advanced breast cancer (breast cancer that relies on hormones such as estrogen to grow) that has spread to other parts of the body. It has been successfully treated with anti-estrogen drugs such as tamoxifen (Soltamox).

Palbociclib is available as capsules and tablets for oral administration. Usually taken once daily during the first 21 days of a 28-day cycle. Palbociclib capsules are usually taken with food. Palbociclib tablets can be taken with food or alone. Your doctor will decide how many times you should repeat this cycle. Take palbociclib at about the same time each day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any parts you don't understand. Take palbociclib exactly as directed. Do not take more, less, or more often than prescribed by your doctor.

Currently, palbociclib is already sold in the domestic market and has also been included in the reimbursement scope of medical insurance. For the domestic specification of 125mg*21 tablets, the price after medical insurance reimbursement is around 4,200 yuan. On the other hand, we can also examine the overseas palbociclib market, which includes both original drugs and generic drugs. The price of original drugs in overseas markets is higher than the domestic price after reimbursement. Therefore, if patients need original drugs, it will be more cost-effective to purchase them directly from the domestic market. Overseas generic drugs mainly come from Bangladesh and Laos. The price of palbociclib produced by different pharmaceutical factories in Bangladesh ranges from 780 to 2,800 yuan.
