How much does a bottle of Asciminib cost?

Asciminib (Asciminib) is used to treat a certain type of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML; a cancer of the white blood cells) as first treatment and in people who can no longer benefit from other leukemia drugs. Aceminib belongs to the kinase inhibitor class of drugs. It works by blocking the activity of an abnormal protein that sends a reproduction signal to cancer cells, which helps prevent the spread of cancer cells.

Asiminib is an oral tablet. Generally take it on an empty stomach1-2 times a day (at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals). Take Asiminib at about the same time every day. Do not take more or less than the number of times prescribed by your doctor. Swallow the tablets whole; do not cut, chew, or crush them. Doctors may adjust the dose or stop treatment temporarily or permanently based on the patient's response to treatment and any side effects experienced. Continue taking Asiminib even if you feel well. Common side effects are colds, muscle pain, joint pain, bone pain, fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, rash, and symptoms in patients with abnormal blood tests. Serious side effects of this drug include high blood pressure, low blood cells, pancreatic problems, and heart problems.

The original drug of Asiminib has not yet been launched in China, so it cannot be included in medical insurance. The original drug of Asiminib currently sold overseas is very expensive. Generic drugs of Asiminil are also produced and marketed overseas, and their drug ingredients are basically the same as those of the original drug. For example, the price of 40mg*60 tablets produced by a Laos pharmaceutical factory may be more than 4,000 yuan per box (the price may fluctuate due to exchange rate effects), and the price is relatively cheap.
