What is Ilumya (tildrakizumab) and where is it sold in India?
Ilumya is a brand of tildrakizumab, an injectable medicine used for moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. In India, pricing is set by the manufacturer/market access and can vary by pack size and whether it’s supplied through hospitals, specialty pharmacies, or reimbursement programs.
How much does Ilumya cost in India?
Specific, publicly listed “retail” prices for Ilumya in India are not consistently available because pricing can differ by procurement channel (hospital vs. retail), dosage regimen, and any ongoing commercial discounts.

Why Ilumya pricing can change (pack size, dosing, and procurement)
Even when two patients are both “on Ilumya,” the actual spend can differ due to:
- Dose volume used per administration and the exact pack/strength supplied.
- Treatment frequency and total quantity needed per month.
- Hospital procurement pricing vs. independent pharmacy pricing.
- Any manufacturer-led patient support or hospital discounting.
What patients usually ask next: is it covered by insurance or government schemes?
In India, biologics like tildrakizumab are often treated as specialty medicines. Coverage depends on the patient’s insurer policy terms and prior authorization requirements. If you share your city/state and whether you’re buying through a hospital or retail pharmacy, I can suggest the most practical way to check the current billed price (e.g., what to ask the pharmacy/hospital for: “per vial price,” “per injection cost,” and “cost per 12-week course”).
If you want, I can estimate your likely monthly/quarterly spend
Tell me:
1) The dose your doctor prescribed (e.g., 100 mg or 200 mg if applicable),
2) How often you’re scheduled (initial doses and maintenance),
3) Whether you’re getting it from a hospital or a retail pharmacy,
and I’ll help you translate the “per-vial/per-injection” cost into a monthly or quarterly total once you have the local price per pack/vial.
