How much does Pomalidomide cost?

Pomalidomide may be used in combination with dexamethasone to treat multiple myeloma that has not improved during or within 60 days of treatment with at least two other drugs, including lenalidomide (Revlimid) and a proteasome inhibitor. It is also used to treat Kaposi's sarcoma associated with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), after failure of treatment with other drugs or in patients with Kaposi's sarcoma who are not infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

Pomalidomide is a drug called an immunomodulator, which works by helping the bone marrow produce normal blood cells and killing abnormal cells in the bone marrow. Pomalidomide is usually taken as an oral capsule that is taken once daily with or without food on days 1 through 21 of a 28-day cycle. This 28-day pattern can be repeated as recommended by your doctor. Take pomalidomide at about the same time each day.

Pomalidomide, independently developed in China, has been launched domestically and has now entered the scope of medical insurance. The price of domestically produced Pomalidomide may be around RMB 4,000 per box, while the Turkish version sold overseas may be priced around RMB 15,000 per box (the price may fluctuate due to exchange rates), which is relatively expensive. There are also cheaper generic drugs produced in other countries overseas. The price of each box produced by a Lao pharmaceutical factory may be around a few hundred yuan (the price may fluctuate due to the exchange rate). The ingredients of foreign generic drugs, domestically produced drugs and foreign original drugs are basically the same.
