Tazerestat is a targeted drug used to treat certain cancers, primarily epithelioid sarcoma and follicular lymphoma. Currently, the drug is not yet on the market in China and is not included in medical insurance, but patients can purchase overseas versions or generic drugs through formal channels. This article will introduce in detail the purchase channels, medication precautions and related information of tazerestat in China to help patients and their families better understand this drug.

Is tazerestat available in China?

Currently, it has not been officially launched in mainland China, nor has it been included in the national medical insurance catalog. Patients cannot directly purchase the original drug through domestic hospitals or pharmacies. There are some overseas versions or generic drugs on the market, and patients can obtain them through specific channels.

Reasons for not being launched in China

The original drug of tazetostat was developed by the American company Epizyme and was approved by the U.S. FDA in 2020. Due to factors such as the drug approval process and market demand, the drug has not yet completed registration and marketing application in China. Therefore, domestic patients are temporarily unable to purchase it through regular hospitals or pharmacies.

The feasibility of generic drugs

Although the original drugs are not on the domestic market, some generic drugs produced by overseas pharmaceutical companies may enter the Chinese market through cross-border e-commerce or medical service institutions. Patients should pay attention to the authenticity and quality of medicines when purchasing and avoid buying fake or substandard medicines.

For patients who are in urgent need of medication, choosing overseas versions or generic drugs may be a feasible solution, but they need to carefully screen the channels and drug quality.

Where can I buy tazerestat?

Since tazerestat is not marketed in China, patients need to purchase it through other channels. The following are several possible purchase channels for patients’ reference.

Overseas original drugs

Original drugs are mainly sold in the United States and other countries, and patients can purchase them through cross-border medical service institutions or international pharmacies. For example, the original version of the drug exported to Hong Kong is 200mg*240 tablets, and the price is about US$7,213 per box.

Laos generic drugs

The prices of generic drugs produced in Laos are relatively low. For example, the specification of Laos Lucius is 200mg*56 tablets/box, and the reference price is about US$777; the specification of Laos Big Bear is 200mg*80 tablets/box, and the reference price is about US$1,480. Patients can purchase it through formal cross-border e-commerce platforms or medical service institutions.

Purchase Precautions

When purchasing tazetostat, patients should pay attention to the production date, packaging integrity and channel legality of the drug. Avoid buying from unknown sources to avoid the risk of counterfeit medicines.

When choosing a purchasing channel, patients should give priority to formal institutions and keep the purchase voucher for subsequent needs.
