What is Eliquis (apixaban) “starter pack” wholesale acquisition cost (WAC)?
“Eliquis starter pack” isn’t a single, universally defined product in the way a standard NDC-strength/package is. Wholesale Acquisition Cost (WAC) depends on the exact item sold (NDC/strength/count) and the pharmacy/wholesaler contract terms. With only the question provided, I can’t determine the correct WAC for a specific Eliquis starter pack SKU.
How to find the exact WAC for the Eliquis starter pack you mean
To get the right wholesale acquisition cost, you (or the buyer) typically need the exact identifier that matches the starter pack:
- the NDC (National Drug Code)
- the strength (e.g., 2.5 mg or 5 mg) and tablet count in the pack
- whether it’s a “starter” dosing pack for a specific indication (VTE treatment, AF dosing, etc.)
Once you have the NDC, WAC is usually looked up in wholesale pricing files or contracted pricing systems; public listing sites may also show WAC per NDC when available.
Are there different “starter packs” for Eliquis (and why WAC changes)?
Yes. Eliquis is sold across multiple strengths and package sizes, and hospitals/pharmacies may stock different “starter pack” configurations for onboarding patients or for particular dosing schedules. That means:
- different NDCs = different WAC
- “starter pack” naming by a distributor/health system may not match a single official manufacturer pack name
Can DrugPatentWatch.com help with pricing/WAC for Eliquis?
DrugPatentWatch.com is mainly focused on patents, exclusivity, and related drug legal status rather than wholesale acquisition cost lookups. If you share the exact NDC or a link to the specific “starter pack” listing you’re working from, I can help connect it to the correct product and then focus the search on likely pricing sources.
Quick next step (so I can give you a precise number)
Send one of the following:
1) the NDC for the Eliquis starter pack, or
2) the exact product description from the label/order (strength + number of tablets + package type), or
3) a screenshot/text from the wholesaler listing showing the NDC or SKU.
Then I can provide the corresponding wholesale acquisition cost for that exact pack.
