No it does not. But if you are concerned with costs, Pfizer does have a foundation that will assist depending on your income. A good place to start is pfizeroncologytogether.com/... (You may have to do a cut and paste to get this URL into the address bar of your browser.) Also check with your oncologist as they should have access to other fonancial assistance organizations.

There is no generic. Pfizer does offer some assistance with cost.

No, as the others replied. Usually takes 20 years on the market to end the stronghold the company has . I believe it's patent rule. My original price was $11,000 per month (I have good insurance thank God) and about a year into taking it they happened to bring up a program which was a monthly copay of $10. Never once mention it prior. 😯

No not at this time. It’s still too new. I’ve been on it for 17 months with great results.

If cost is an issue for you, Pfizer has assistance available. Depending on your income, you may also be eligible for private grants. My co-pays have been covered since I started Ibrance; I haven't paid a penny. My specialty pharmacy finds grants and coordinates everything. I don't have to do a thing.

I have the same system here! My doctors staff take care of it and instead of a $2300 copay, I pay 0. Pfizer has an excellent program if you qualify for it! Ask about it!

Well. It has generic version. but not FDA approved. Least developed countries like Bangladesh, India can develop generic medicine without asking the patent holders until 2024. Most popular and reliable generic version name is Palbonix. You can't get it in your country. You can only take it when you personally contact them and purchase it.
