How much does Gleevec (imatinib) cost?
I can’t give a specific current price for “Gleevec” from the information provided. Drug pricing changes often based on the country, dose (mg), package size, and whether you’re paying cash or using insurance.
What affects the price you’ll see for Gleevec?
The out-of-pocket cost commonly depends on:
- Dose strength and pill count per bottle (pricing scales with the amount dispensed).
- Your location (US vs other countries) and local reimbursement rules.
- Insurance status and formulary placement.
- Whether you’re buying the brand name “Gleevec” or an available generic version.

If you meant “Gleevec vs generic imatinib,” what should you expect?
Because imatinib is widely available generically, brand-name Gleevec is often more expensive than generic imatinib. Your exact savings depend on your pharmacy and insurance plan.
To get the exact cost, what details should you share?
If you tell me your country (and ZIP/state for the US), the dose (e.g., 400 mg or 800 mg), and whether you want brand or generic, I can narrow the answer to the most relevant pricing context.
