How much does Aloxi (palonosetron) cost?
The exact cost of Aloxi depends on the dose, formulation size, and where it’s purchased (and whether you’re billed through a hospital/infusion provider or a retail pharmacy). Pricing can also vary by country and insurance coverage.
Is Aloxi expensive compared with generic alternatives?
Aloxi is the brand name for palonosetron. When generic palonosetron products are available, they often come at a lower net price than the brand. If you’re seeing a high out-of-pocket cost, the fastest way to reduce it is usually to check whether a generic palonosetron product is being used instead of Aloxi, or whether your provider can bill using a lower-cost equivalent.
What affects your out-of-pocket price (insurance, prior auth, and billing)?
Patients typically don’t pay the “sticker price” directly for Aloxi because it’s often administered in an infusion setting. Your final cost can be driven by:
- Whether your insurance covers the drug under the medical benefit (common for infusion/oncology) or the pharmacy benefit
- Prior authorization requirements
- Your plan’s copay/coinsurance structure
- Whether the provider buys the medication under a contract price
