What does Fintepla cost per year in the UK?
Fintepla (fenfluramine) is priced in the UK via the NHS and may vary by access route, prescribing setting, and product pack size. The annual cost therefore isn’t a single universal figure that applies to every patient.
Why the “annual cost” number can change (and what you need to calculate it)
To estimate an annual UK cost, you typically need the fenfluramine dose (which depends on the child’s weight and regimen), the number of bottles per month/pack size, and the current NHS/list price for the specific strength. Without those details, any “annual cost” figure would be a guess.
How to get the exact current UK annual cost
The most reliable way is to use one of these sources:
- Your NHS pharmacy / procurement channel price for the current product pack(s) and strength.
- The prescribing hospital’s medicines information service (they can often map dose → expected annual consumption).
- UK drug price listings tied to the exact presentation.
If you tell me a dose/weight, can you estimate the yearly cost?
Yes. If you share:
- the child’s weight (or target dose in mg/day),
- the prescribed strength (if known),
- and the UK price per pack/bottle you’re seeing,
I can calculate the approximate annual medicine cost from that.
Sources needed to answer precisely
To give a specific annual cost figure for the UK, I’d need a source that states the UK price for the exact Fintepla presentation and strength, plus dosing assumptions. None of that pricing information was provided here.
If you paste the UK price you’re looking at (per bottle/pack and strength), I’ll convert it into an annual cost immediately.
