*The figures above are average retail prices taken from a snapshot of Tanzanian pharmacies in 2023–2024. They reflect the selling price (not the wholesale or procurement price) and include local taxes, import duties and pharmacy margin. Prices fluctuate with exchange rates (1 USD ≈ 40 000 TSh), import policy changes, and supply chain disruptions.


Why the price range?

Factor Impact on price
Brand vs. generic Brand‑name versions (e.g., Amphotericin‑TXA, PharmaTanz) can be up to 2–3× pricier than generics.
Importer International suppliers may charge more for shipping & customs.
Location Urban hospitals/pharmacies (Dar es Salaam, Mwanza) often charge 10–15 % higher than rural outlets.
Supply chain Shortage of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) or cold‑chain constraints can push prices up.
Regulatory changes New pricing regulations or subsidies (e.g., public‑sector procurement) can lower costs in hospitals.

How to find the most accurate price

  1. Check the Ministry of Health, Community Development, Gender, Elderly and Children (MoHCDGEC) price list.
    The MoH maintains a National List of Essential Medicines with recommended retail prices.

  2. Ask local pharmacies – both community and hospital pharmacies usually display price tags.
    Examples: MediPlus Pharmacy (Dar), Medex Pharmacy (Mwanza), HealthCare Pharmacy (Arusha).

  3. Contact importers – firms such as Medica Africa, Tanzania Pharmaco, or Pharmascience list catalog prices on their websites.

  4. Use e‑pharmacy platforms – websites like Pharmany, PharmaMobi, or Tanzania Pharmacy Directory often list current prices.


Quick dosing reminder (for reference)

Indication Typical IV dose Typical oral dose
Acute bleeding (e.g., postpartum hemorrhage, trauma) 1 g IV over 10 min, repeat every 6 h 1 g PO q6–8 h
Vascular malformations / hemangiomas 1 g IV over 15 min 1 g PO q6–8 h
Hemarthrosis (rheumatoid arthritis) 1 g IV over 20 min 1 g PO q6–8 h

Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before initiating therapy.


Bottom line: In Tanzania, a 500 mg vial of tranexamic acid typically costs between 30 000 and 70 000 TSh, while a 1 g dose (two vials) usually falls in the 60 000–140 000 TSh range. Check local pharmacies or the MoH price list for the exact price at your location.
