Where to buy Ramucirumab

Ramucirumab is a clear to slightly opalescent, colorless to slightly yellow, preservative-free solution that is usually stored in the refrigerator away from light until use. The original drug has been launched domestically and overseas. Due to the short time it has been on the market in China, it may be difficult for patients to purchase this drug domestically. When purchasing this drug overseas, they need to purchase it through formal channels to avoid buying counterfeit drugs.

When used with paclitaxel, ramucirumab extended the lives of patients with gastric and gastroesophageal junction cancers. When ramucirumab was given alone, the benefit was less, but it remains an option when paclitaxel treatment is deemed inappropriate. Ramosumab also extended life expectancy or increased the time before disease progression in patients with colorectal cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Although the effect was modest, ramucizumab's safety profile was consistent with expectations for other drugs that blockVEGFR activity and was considered manageable.

The original drug of ramucizumab marketed in China is not included in the medical insurance. The price of each box of 100mg/10mL may be around RMB 5,000, and the price of 500mg/50mL may be around RMB 17,000 per box, which is expensive. The price of the original Hong Kong version of 100mg/10mL per box may be around RMB 8,400, and the price of 500mg/50mL per box may be around RMB 28,000 (the price may fluctuate due to exchange rate effects). The drug ingredients are basically the same. For specific prices and drug information, please consult Yaode’s medical consultant.
