How much does a box of ozanimod cost?

Ozamod (ozanimod) is indicated for the treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS) in adults, including clinically isolated syndrome, relapsing-remitting disease and active secondary progressive disease, and also for the treatment of moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis in adults (UC). Ozamod is available as a capsule and may need to be taken once daily.

Special types of cells in the immune system, calledT cells and B cells, are thought to cause much of the damage in MS. They usually kill viruses and bacteria that enter your body, but in multiple sclerosis, they can damage your nerves. Ozamod prevents them from leaving your lymph nodes, which means they rarely enter your brain and spinal cord, where they attack the covering (myelin) around your nerves. Two trials compared ozanimod with beta interferon, a drug already used to treat ozanimod. Ozamod was significantly better than beta interferon in reducing the number of relapses and the number of lesions found on MRI scans. Relapse rates fell by 38%. When disability worsens, it's not clear how well ozanimod slows that.

The original drug Ozamod has been launched in China, but it has been on the market for a short time and has not been included in the medical insurance. The specific price is not yet clear, and domestic purchase channels are relatively difficult. The price of Ozamod original drug specifications0.92*28 capsules per box listed overseas may be around 19,000 yuan (the price may fluctuate due to the exchange rate), which is expensive. There is currently no generic version of Ozamod produced and launched. For more drug information and specific prices, please consult the medical consultant of Yaode.
