Romiplostim market price and cost per drug

Romiplostim is a recombinant thrombopoietin receptor agonist, mainly used to treat chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) and other diseases. In recent years, this drug has been relatively maturely used in the Chinese market, and its price varies significantly depending on the region and manufacturer. The price of imported loplastin in the country is relatively high, while the domestic version is much cheaper, which reflects the larger cost and pricing differences between imported drugs and locally produced drugs.

According to current public information, the price of a single dose of imported loplastin in the Chinese market is approximately more than 2,000 yuan. This is the pricing level of imported products, which is mainly affected by many factors such as import costs, patents, distribution, and drug taxes and fees. Therefore, if a patient chooses an imported brand, the out-of-pocket cost for each drug may be higher, but the specific amount will depend on the medical insurance reimbursement policy of the province or city where he is located.

The price of domestically produced loplastin (also a thrombopoietin receptor agonist) is relatively lower, with a single tube costing approximately more than one thousand yuan. The domestic version is more affordable due to its advantages such as lower production and distribution costs, policy support, and localized production. For many patients, domestically produced loplastin is a more economically attractive option.

It is worth noting that Roprostim has been included in China’s medical insurance, which means that patients can receive a certain percentage of reimbursement for their drug costs. However, medical insurance coverage ratios, outpatient/inpatient usage policies, and annual reimbursement limits vary greatly in different regions. For the specific reimbursement ratio, patient out-of-pocket amount and pharmacy selling price, it is recommended that patients consult the pharmacy or medical insurance department of their hospital in detail. Before taking medicine, it is best to confirm the latest prices and medical insurance policies with the local hospital pharmacy to make cost planning.
