Giritinib is currently on the market in China, but it is not included in medical insurance. If patients need it, they can go to the hospital to buy it at their own expense, but the price is very high, about 35,000It’s about RMB 1,000. Please consult the local hospital pharmacy for specific prices. Foreign original drugs of gilitinib are even more expensive. For example, the price of the Hong Kong version of the original drug is around 90,000 yuan, and the European version of the original drug is as high as more than 200,000 yuan, which is simply unaffordable for ordinary patients. But what is gratifying is that there are already foreign generic drugs of giritinib, mainly Laotian generic drugs. The price is about four to five thousand yuan, which is relatively cheap. In terms of drug ingredients, the ingredients of domestic and foreign original gilitinib drugs are basically the same as those of generic drugs.
