How much does a single box of Nedani cloth cost? The secret of the cost of a course of treatment

Nintedanib (Nintedanib) is a targeted drug widely used in the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis. Its market price and treatment cost are common concerns among patients. Currently, in the Chinese mainland market, the original drug of nintedanib is developed and produced by the German company Boehringer Ingelheim, with the trade name "Ofev". It has been officially included in the scope of Class B drugs in the National Medical Insurance Catalog and is suitable for eligible patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, systemic sclerosis, interstitial lung disease, etc.

The common specifications of nintedanib are100mg 30 capsules/box and 150mg 30 capsules/box. Calculated based on the conventional recommended dose of 150mg twice a day, approximately two boxes of 150mg specifications are needed per month. The market price of the original drug is approximately RMB 4,000 per box, but the reimbursement ratio for medical insurance varies slightly depending on the region, insured status and specific indications.

In addition to domestic original drugs, there are also nintedanib drugs from other sources on the international market, such as the Turkish version, the Indian version, etc. Due to differences in exchange rates and national drug pricing, the prices of these versions of the drug are relatively more affordable. Taking the 150mg*60 tablets produced in Türkiye as an example, the price is about 4,000 to 5,000 yuan. The Indian and Lao versions of generic drugs have also attracted much attention. For example, the generic nintedanib drugs produced by companies such as India's BDR, Grammark or Laos ASEAN Pharmaceuticals have the same ingredients as the original drugs, and the price is even lower. The price of a box is about 600 yuan to 800 yuan. The specific price will fluctuate due to exchange rate changes.

If the recommended dose is 150 mg twice a day, 60 pills are needed for a one-month treatment, and the cost of using the original drug is close to 10,000 yuan/month. If international generic drugs are used, the monthly cost may be controlled at more than one thousand yuan or even less. Patients who take medicines for a long time usually choose the appropriate source of medicines based on their financial ability and doctor's recommendations.
