How much does a box of Seleniso tablets cost and how many pills are in a box?

Selinexor (Selinexor) belongs to a class of drugs called selective inhibitors of nuclear export (SINE). It works by killing cancer cells. Selinisol may be used with dexamethasone to treat multiple myeloma (MM; a cancer of the bone marrow) that has come back or has failed to respond to at least 4 other treatments; and with bortezomib and dexamethasone in patients with multiple myeloma who have been previously treated with at least 1 other drug. Selinisol is also used to treat certain types of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL; a cancer that starts in white blood cells) in which the cancer has come back or has not responded to at least two other treatments.

The original drug Seleniso has been successfully launched in China, and the drug has been included in the national medical insurance directory, bringing good news to the majority of patients. It is understood that Seleniso is available in the domestic market in specifications of 20mg*12 tablets and 20mg*16 tablets. The price is about more than 20,000 yuan per box. However, patients who meet the medical insurance indications can enjoy medical insurance reimbursement, which effectively reduces the financial burden. In comparison, the price of the original Seleniso drug in overseas markets appears to be relatively expensive. Taking the U.S. version as an example, the price of a box of 20mg*8 tablets may be as high as more than 100,000 yuan, and the price may also change due to exchange rate fluctuations. This undoubtedly puts heavy financial pressure on patients who require long-term treatment.

It is worth mentioning that generic drugs of Seleniso have also appeared in overseas markets. These generic drugs are basically the same as the original drugs in terms of drug ingredients, but the prices are relatively affordable. For example, the price of generic selinexol produced by a Lao pharmaceutical factory is 20mg*32 tablets per box, which may only be around 2,000 yuan, and may also fluctuate due to the impact of exchange rates. This provides more options for patients with limited financial resources.
