chandraa, just hold on for a few weeks.

Biocon is launching it's Trastuzumab (Herceptin) on 16th Jan and Mylan is launching on 1st Feb. I had met the authorities of both these companies. They did not commit any exact price, but told it will definitely be lower than the present brands in the market. I am going to attend the launch function. Once I know something more, I shall let you know

Hi Chandraa, I had purchased Biceltius 440 mg at Rs.54000.00 from Kolkata. As advice by Dr Shah, If possible wait for the new medicine to be launched by Biocon and Mylan.

Hi, Chandraa, Just read in Economic Times today that Biocon has introduced Canmab (Herceptin) today at Rs 19,500 per vial and will be available in Market from 1 st week of Feb. Dr Summet, Sir can we have Canmab instead of Herceptin / Biceltius as prescribed by the Dr presently.

Tata Memorial Centre will have the one of the cheapest rates. They have a very good social worker network, who can guide you to get some supporters.
