What’s the typical price of filgrastim injections?
Filgrastim injection prices vary mainly by (1) the dose/strength (often 300 mcg, 480 mcg, 600 mcg), (2) pack size (number of prefilled syringes/vials), (3) whether it’s the brand product or a biosimilar, and (4) your country and pharmacy pricing rules. The exact cost is not provided in the available source information here, so you’ll need to check local pricing.
How much does a dose cost (per injection or per syringe)?
To estimate “cost per injection,” pricing is usually easiest to compare by:
- the mcg strength you’re prescribed (e.g., 300 mcg vs 480 mcg),
- the number of syringes in the box,
- and whether your prescription can be filled as a biosimilar at a lower price.
If you tell me your country and the strength/number of syringes (and whether it’s a brand or biosimilar), I can help you compute a per-dose estimate from whatever price you find.
Brand vs biosimilar: which is cheaper?
In many markets, biosimilar filgrastim products tend to be less expensive than the original brand due to competition. The best price usually depends on what your pharmacy carries and what your insurer covers.
What affects the final out-of-pocket price?
Even with the same “list price,” your final cost can change based on:
- insurance coverage and copay/coinsurance rules,
- pharmacy discounts or patient assistance programs,
- eligibility for biosimilars,
- and whether you’re using prefilled syringes vs vials (some systems price them differently).
Where can you check the current price?
For accurate, up-to-date pricing, check:
- your local pharmacy’s website or by asking for the cash price,
- national drug price databases in your country,
- and your insurer’s formulary (to see which filgrastim products are covered and at what tier).
Tell me what you need, and I’ll narrow it down
Reply with:
1) your country,
2) filgrastim strength (mcg) and form (prefilled syringe vs vial), and
3) how many injections/syringes (or the box size).
Then I can help you figure out the most relevant “price per injection” estimate for your situation.
