Xeloda 500 price?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for Xeloda

What is the price of Xeloda 500 (capecitabine)?

Xeloda 500 is capecitabine tablets (500 mg). The exact price varies a lot by country, pharmacy, insurance coverage, and whether you’re paying cash or using a drug plan. The information needed to quote a specific price (your location and whether you have insurance) isn’t provided here.

How much does Xeloda 500 cost with insurance vs without?

In general, prices break down into:
- Cash price (no insurance): typically higher and more variable by pharmacy and region.
- With insurance: your out-of-pocket cost depends on your copay/coinsurance, deductible status, and formulary tier.
- Manufacturer assistance or discount programs (if eligible): can lower out-of-pocket costs, but eligibility rules vary.

How many tablets are in a typical Xeloda prescription, and does that change the cost?

Yes. Xeloda dosing is weight- and regimen-dependent, and prescriptions may be written for different quantities (number of tablets per month or per cycle). Total cost is driven by the number of 500 mg tablets dispensed, not just the per-tablet price.

Where can you check the current Xeloda 500 price quickly?

To get a real-time number, the most reliable options are:
- Your local pharmacy’s price quote (ask for “cash price” and “insurance price”)
- Your insurer’s pharmacy portal (your listed copay)
- Discount pricing services or pharmacy discount programs (if available in your area)

If you tell me your location, I can help you narrow to an exact number

Reply with:
1) Your country (and ZIP/postal code if US/Canada/UK where applicable)
2) Whether you want cash price or insurance copay
3) The quantity you need (e.g., how many 500 mg tablets or tablets per month)

Then I can point you to the most relevant pricing approach and what number to look for.

Accurate Statements

Increased risk of bleeding when taking XELODA with vitamin K antagonists (e.g., warfarin), potentially including death, with monitoring of INR more frequently.
Supported by Label sections 5.2 (reported altered coagulation parameters/bleeding including death; clinically significant PT/INR increases; monitor INR more frequently and adjust vitamin K antagonist dose) and 7.2 (XELODA increases exposure of vitamin K antagonists; may alter coagulation parameters/bleeding and could result in death; monitor INR more frequently and refer to vitamin K antagonist prescribing information for dosage adjustment), and Patient Information (“Increased risk of bleeding... such as warfarin” with timing including as soon as a few days after starting and possibly within 1 month after stopping).
Timing/clinical course is consistent with the label (events can occur as soon as a few days after starting and possibly within 1 month after stopping).
Patient Information and Label 7.2 describe events occurring within days and up to 1 month after discontinuation.
