How much does filgrastim injection cost?
Filgrastim injection prices vary a lot by country, brand vs. generic, dose (micrograms per mL), and how many doses the prescriber orders. Costs also differ depending on whether you pay cash or through insurance.
What affects the price the most?
The biggest drivers are usually:
- Brand vs. biosimilar/generic availability in your market.
- Dose strength and total volume per vial/syringe.
- Treatment schedule (number of days or cycles).
- Whether the product is covered by insurance and what your copay/coinsurance is.
- Pharmacy type (retail vs. specialty pharmacy) and patient assistance programs.
How do biosimilars change the cost?
Where biosimilars are available, they often lower the out-of-pocket cost and total treatment cost compared with the original brand. Actual savings depend on local formulary placement and pharmacy pricing.
What should you check at the pharmacy?
Ask the pharmacist for:
- The price per vial/syringe (and the NDC).
- The expected quantity needed for your prescribed duration.
- Cash price vs. insurance price (including any prior authorization requirements).
- Any eligible patient assistance or copay programs.
If you tell me your details, I can narrow the likely cost
Share:
1) Your country (or ZIP/postal code),
2) Brand or strength (e.g., “filgrastim 300 mcg/0.5 mL” or similar),
3) How many injections per day and for how many days,
4) Whether you’re paying cash or using insurance (and your plan type if known).
Then I can estimate a more realistic cost range for your situation.
