Desirox在国内价格多少？

It is an iron chelator product developed by the Swiss pharmaceutical company Novartis. It is the first oral iron-depleting agent approved by the US FDA for routine use.

In Europe, it is recommended as a first-line drug for patients with thalassemia iron overload over 6 years old.

In 2010, Desirox was launched in China. So, what is the price of Desirox in China?

Domestic price of Desirox: The price of Desirox after it is launched in China is relatively high, with a box costing about $2,000. For an ordinary person weighing 60kg, the cost of taking Desirox for a month is more than about $24,000. It can be seen that it is difficult for ordinary families to accept this price and cannot afford it!  

Fortunately, there are also foreign versions for everyone to choose from. Novartis of Switzerland imported Desirox to India. The specification is 400mg*30 tablets/box, and the price is about $700.  

The specification of Desirox produced by Indian pharmaceutical factory is 500*30 tablets/box, and the price is about 500$. Due to the fluctuation of exchange rate, the price will be different. Please consult the medical companion for the specific price!
