达普司他一次能囤几盒?多少钱?

Daprostat is a new oral hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor (HIF-PHI), mainly used to treat anemia caused by chronic kidney disease. Since it has not yet been officially launched in China, some patients obtain the drug through overseas channels. This article will provide a detailed introduction to the stock quantity, price and medication precautions of dapocestat for special groups to help patients in need better understand the use and purchase strategies of this drug.

How many boxes of daprostat can be stocked at a time

Since it is not available in the country, most patients rely on overseas drug purchasing platforms or overseas drug purchasing channels to obtain drugs. In terms of stocking up, due to various factors such as transportation policies, customs supervision and personal use needs, the amount of stocking up needs to be carefully controlled.

Subject to customs policy

Currently, China Customs has clear quantity limits on medicines imported by individuals, usually based on the principle of reasonable quantities for personal use. If the quantity purchased at one time is too large, it may be deemed to be for commercial use and may be detained or returned.

It is recommended to purchase on a monthly basis

Considering policy risks and drug storage conditions, it is generally recommended that patients purchase according to one month's dosage, that is, 1 to 2 boxes, which can not only meet the needs of continuous treatment, but also avoid unnecessary customs clearance issues.

There is a risk of failure if stocked for a long time

Drugs have a shelf life. The conventional packaging of daprostat is 100 tablets/bottle, and the validity period is generally about 24 months. If there is a large amount of hoarding, some medicines may be close to expiration before use, resulting in waste.

It is not recommended to hoard daprostat in large quantities. The purchase frequency should be reasonably arranged based on the actual treatment cycle and policy regulations.

How much does daprostat cost?

Most of the dapostat currently circulating on the market are generic drugs, among which the version produced by Lucius Pharmaceuticals in Laos is more common. The drug has a specification of 1mg*100 tablets and is more affordable than the original drug, making it the first choice for many patients.

The price of the Lao version is stable

According to quotes from multiple drug purchase platforms, the price of each box of the Lao Lucius version of daprostat is about US$6. This price is at a low level among global generic drugs and has a high cost performance.

There are slight differences in prices across different channels

Although the official guidance price is relatively uniform, the actual transaction price may fluctuate slightly due to factors such as sales platforms, logistics costs, and exchange rate fluctuations.

Without medical insurance support, you still need to pay for it yourself

Since daprostat has not been approved for marketing in China and has not been included in the national medical insurance catalog, all costs must be borne by the patient. For patients taking it for a long time, there is still a certain amount of financial pressure.

Although the price of daprostat is not high, due to the lack of formal sales channels and medical insurance support, patients still need to make reasonable plans to purchase the drug based on their own economic conditions.

Daplostat medication for special groups

During the use of daplostat, the dosage and monitoring indicators need to be adjusted according to the physical conditions of different groups of people. Especially for pregnant women, the elderly and those with liver and kidney dysfunction, more attention should be paid.

Use with caution in pregnant women

Currently there is insufficient clinical data to prove the safety of dapinostat during pregnancy. Animal experiments show that it may have some effects on fetal development, so pregnant women should avoid using it unless a doctor assesses that the benefits outweigh the risks.

No special adjustments are required for the elderly’s medication

Research data shows that there is little difference in drug efficacy and adverse reactions between elderly patients and young patients. Generally, there is no need to adjust the dosage, but it is still recommended to regularly monitor hemoglobin levels under the guidance of a doctor.

Patients with hepatic and renal insufficiency should be cautious

Although daprostat is used for the treatment of renal anemia, it may affect drug metabolism in patients with severe liver dysfunction. Such patients should use it under the guidance of a professional physician and closely monitor changes in liver function.

In general, although dapostat is suitable for most patients with renal anemia, individualized evaluation is still needed in specific groups.
