Dasatinib cost per pill?

Dasatinib is an oral tyrosine‑kinase inhibitor used mainly for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and some other cancers. The price you pay per pill can vary quite a bit, depending on a few factors:

| Factor | Typical Impact on Cost |
|--------|------------------------|
| Brand vs. generic | The brand‑name product (Sprycel) is usually higher, while the generic version (sold as “dasatinib” in many countries) is considerably cheaper. |
| Dose strength | 50 mg tablets are common for adults, but 100 mg tablets exist for higher‑dose regimens. Higher dose pills cost more. |
| Insurance coverage | If you have health insurance, the copay or coinsurance can be a small fraction of the list price. |
| Pharmacy discounts / coupons | Many pharmacies offer discount programs that can bring the out‑of‑pocket price down. |
| Country / region | Prices in the U.S. are usually higher than in other countries due to the U.S. drug‑pricing system. |

Rough price ranges (U.S.)

| Product | Approx. list price per 50 mg pill |
|---------|----------------------------------|
| Brand‑name (Sprycel) | $120–$200 |
| Generic (dasatinib) | $50–$100 |

These figures are for the list price—the amount a pharmacy charges a payer before any discounts or insurance adjustments. Your out‑of‑pocket cost could be much lower (or higher, if you’re uninsured).

How to get the exact price for you

1. Ask your pharmacist – they can provide the current cost for the specific strength you need.
2. Check your insurance benefits – look at your formulary or contact the pharmacy benefits manager to see your copay.
3. Use online tools – sites like GoodRx or the pharmacy’s own discount programs can show the price at your local pharmacy.
