Where to buy Tepotinib

Tepotinib is a type of drug called a kinase inhibitor. Kinase inhibitors are a new class of drugs used to treat cancer. They work by blocking some chemical messengers that are part of the signaling processes within cancer cells that control their growth. Tepotinib is used in adults to treat non-small cell lung cancer that may have undergone certain abnormal changes in the mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition factor (MET) gene and has spread and/or cannot be removed with surgery. Changes in the MET gene produce abnormal proteins that can lead to uncontrolled cell growth and cancer. By blocking this abnormal protein, tepotinib can slow or stop cancer growth and potentially shrink the cancer. A research study aims to use a new approach using the targeted drug tipotinib to target genes associated with non-small cell lung cancer.

The original drug Tepotinib has been launched in China, but it is not yet eligible for medical insurance. Because it has been on the market for a very short time in China, it cannot yet be purchased in domestic hospitals or pharmacies. Tepotinib Original drug currently marketed overseas is relatively expensive, and the price of each box of 225mg*30 tablets may be around RMB 80,000 (the price may fluctuate due to exchange rates). There are already generic Tepotinib drugs produced in other countries. The ingredients of these generic drugs are basically the same as those of the original drug, but the price is relatively cheap. For example, the price of 225mg*60 tablets produced by a Laos pharmaceutical factory may be more than 8,000 yuan per box (the price may fluctuate due to exchange rates).
