Is there an Indian version of Palbociclib?

Common generic drugs of Palbociclib (Palbociclib) are produced by Bangladeshi pharmaceutical factories. It is understood that there is no Indian version, but the original drug of Palbociclib may be sold in India. The price of 125mg*21 tablets produced by Bangladesh Yaopin International Pharmaceutical Factory may be around 900 yuan per box (the price may fluctuate due to the exchange rate). The pharmaceutical ingredients of generic drugs are basically the same as those of the original drug, and there may be differences in price and production specifications.

Palbociclib is used to treat breast cancer cells and was studied for 12 weeks before the drug failed to stop the growth of the cells, which are considered resistant to treatment. Increasing the concentration of palbociclib allowed the cells to tolerate these higher doses as well. Further studies have shown that palbociclib-resistant cells are mutation-free, tolerant, and spread to all neighboring cells through exogenous bodies. Experiments have shown that stopping the drug for 7 weeks can reverse the resistance of cancer cells to palbociclib. When palbociclib is used in combination with an aromatase inhibitor, administer 125 mg of palbociclib orally once daily on days 1 to 21 of each 28-day cycle and continue until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.

The original drug of palbociclib has been launched in China and has entered the scope of Class B medical insurance, but reimbursement is limited to patients who meet the indications. The price of each box may be more than more than 4,000 yuan. The price of palbociclib 125mg*21 tablets per box produced by Pfizer Pharmaceuticals listed overseas may be more than RMB 10,000 (the price may fluctuate due to the exchange rate).
