How much does a box of venetoclax/venetoclax 100mg 28 tablets cost?

Venclexta is the brand name for Venetoclax, which is used to treat chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Veneclaworks by binding directly to BCL-2 (B-cell lymphoma-2), a protein that helps determine whether cells live or die. When venetoclax binds to BCL-2, it displaces other proteins, such as BIM, which helps activate the apoptotic process, leading to programmed cell death.

Venetoclaxbelongs to the BCL-2 inhibitor class of drugs. It may also be called a miscellaneous anti-tumor or targeted therapy. Cancer cells such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) overexpress BCL-2, which means they have more of this protein than normal cells. By blocking or inhibiting BCL-2, venetoclax kills these cells.

The original drug of Venekra has been launched in China and has been included in Class B medical insurance. The price of 100mg*14 tablets per box may be around 2,000 RMB, while the Turkish version of the original drug sold overseas, with the specification of 100mg*112 tablets, costs more than 10,000 RMB per box (the price may fluctuate due to the exchange rate). There are also cheaper generic drugs of Venacla sold overseas. Their pharmaceutical ingredients are basically the same as those of the original drugs sold domestically and abroad. For example, the price of 100mg*120 tablets produced by a Bangladesh pharmaceutical factory is more than 4,000 yuan per box (the price may fluctuate due to the exchange rate).
