What does Zarxio (filgrastim-sndz) cost per dose?
Zarxio pricing varies a lot by country, pharmacy type, insurance coverage, dose strength, and treatment schedule. Pricing can also differ between cash-pay and Medicare/commercial plans, and it’s common to see different “per vial” prices depending on the negotiated rates a specific wholesaler or pharmacy uses.
How is Zarxio usually priced in the US (vials/syringes, and why totals differ)?
Zarxio is typically sold and billed by the unit (for example, per vial or prefilled syringe) at specific strengths, then patients’ totals depend on:
- The prescribed daily dose (magnitude and whether weight-based dosing is used)
- How many days the patient receives it
- Whether it’s billed as an outpatient pharmacy item vs. administered in an infusion/clinic setting
Those factors mean two patients can have very different total costs even if they’re prescribed the same brand.
Is there a cheaper alternative to Zarxio?
Zarxio is a biosimilar (filgrastim-sndz). In many markets, other filgrastim biosimilars and interchangeable options may be priced lower depending on payer contracts and pharmacy benefit design. If you tell me your location (country) and whether you’re looking for out-of-pocket (cash) or insurance pricing, I can narrow down the most relevant comparison approach.

Quick details I need to give a specific cost estimate
Reply with any of the following, and I’ll tailor the answer to your situation:
1) Your country (and if US, whether you want cash-pay or insured price)
2) The Zarxio strength (mcg per vial/syringe) and whether you have the exact package label
3) How many units per day and for how many days (or the prescribed total dose)
