Hi. Is anyone able to recommend a low cost generic abiraterone alternative that ships to the UK? I've had Medixo recommended to me in a previous post but just wanted to see who else anyone recommends also? Thanks!

I would be interested in knowing cost of abiraterone out of the rip off US. When I was in Paris I paid out of pocket fro a Firmagon injection. It was under $100 I am not using it anymore because I had my balls removed (orchiectomy) When I was getting it here it was billed at over $2000 per injection plus the injecting for another $500 or so Insurance paid for it as well as my abiraterone. Just wondering if prices are this different for abiraterone elsewhere. We pay our taxes to support research and then let the pharm industry benefit and make the profit and rip us off more than anywhere else. Anyone else tired of this?

In Australia, Abiraterone is dispensed under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) at a normal price of A$41. Depending on circumstances it can be dispensed at A$6.60 or even free. There are certain criteria required to qualify for the PBS price, but these are easily met. I was on Abiraterone for 3 years always at the price of $6.60 and since May this year at free. I noted that the “non PBS” price printed on the box was A$3650. Unfortunately it has now failed and I start Chemo tomorrow - also free (no insurance required).

You might try India Mart. I can give a contract and website if you want them.
