The active ingredient of Inlexzo is gemcitabine. It’s available as the generic drug gemcitabine. A generic drug is considered to be as safe and effective as the original drug. And generics tend to cost less than brand-name drugs.
To find out how the cost of this generic drug compares with the cost of Inlexzo, talk with your doctor, pharmacist, or insurance provider.
Brand-name drugs can be expensive because of the research needed to test their safety and effectiveness. The manufacturer of a brand-name drug can sell it for up to 20 years. When the brand-name drug’s patent expires, multiple manufacturers can create generic versions. This marketplace competition may lead to lower costs for generics. Also, because generics contain the same active ingredients as brand-name drugs, they don’t require the same costly testing.
If you have insurance, your insurance company may require prior authorization before it covers Inlexzo. This means the company and your doctor will discuss Inlexzo in regard to your treatment. The insurance company will then determine whether the medication is covered.
Inlexzo is given by your doctor or another healthcare professional. If you have insurance, the price of your Inlexzo doses may be billed through your medical coverage instead of the prescription drug portion of your insurance plan.
If your doctor prescribes Inlexzo, you may wonder about the cost. Financial assistance programs are available to help lower the cost of the drug.
Talk with your doctor, pharmacist, or insurance provider for more information.
