What medication?
- johnisgood 2y agoBoth dimethyl-fumarate and natalizumab are very expensive, well, MS medications are expensive in general.
- devin 2y agoThanks. I have a relative who was recently diagnosed and I heard their first treatment was very expensive (an order of magnitude more than 8k). I was curious what medication cost 8k, as finding the true cost for drugs is often quite difficult in the US.
- johnisgood 2y agoMost MS medications are very expensive at market price, unfortunately. :/ I would love to move to the US (because of friends), but I am afraid I will not be able to get my MS medication for ~$2 but $8k or more which I would not be able to afford. I want to switch to Tysabri (once a month injection), but it costs $1500 here at market price where I am in Eastern Europe, but I can get it for $2. In the US, it says: "The cost for Tysabri (300 mg/15 mL) intravenous concentrate is around $8,654 for a supply of 15 milliliters" (once a month supply). It does not matter though, even dimethyl-fumarate costs just as much (and is much weaker). So... needless to say, I am lost.
