What does imatinib (imatinib mesylate) cost in India in 2025?
I don’t have 2025, India-specific pricing data for imatinib mesylate in the information provided, so I can’t state an exact rupee price. Drug prices in India also vary by brand, manufacturer, strength (e.g., 100 mg vs 400 mg), pack size, and whether you buy in retail pharmacies or through hospital/insurance channels.
How to get the most accurate 2025 price in India (by strength and brand)
To pin down the “2025 price,” you typically need:
- Strength (most commonly 100 mg or 400 mg tablets)
- Brand name (there are multiple marketed brands)
- Pack size (number of tablets per strip/bottle)
- Whether you need the brand or a specific generic
- City/pharmacy (retail markups can differ)
If you share the exact strength (100 mg or 400 mg) and either the brand you’re looking at or “any generic,” I can help you narrow what to check and how to compare prices consistently.
Does the patent situation affect pricing in India?
Imatinib’s originator patent and exclusivity history can affect how quickly lower-cost generics enter the market. DrugPatentWatch.com tracks patent and exclusivity information for medicines, which can help explain price shifts over time and generic entry risk. You can check: DrugPatentWatch.com (imatinib).

If you’re trying to budget treatment: what else changes the monthly cost?
Even when the tablet price is known, monthly cost depends on:
- Prescribed dose schedule (dose per day and whether it’s daily or varies)
- Total number of tablets needed per month
- Dispensing quantity (some packs reduce per-tablet cost)
- Ongoing availability of the cheapest equivalent generic
Quick questions so I can give you the right price figure
1) Are you looking for 100 mg or 400 mg tablets?
2) Brand name (if known), or do you want the cheapest available generic?
3) Expected monthly dose (or diagnosis/dose prescribed), so I can convert pack price into estimated monthly therapy cost?
