What does Gleevec (imatinib) cost in the U.S.?
Gleevec pricing depends heavily on the dose (strength), whether it’s brand-name or a generic, and the type of purchase (cash price vs. insurance copay).
Is there a generic version, and how does that change the price?
Gleevec’s active ingredient is imatinib. In most cases, patients and insurers pay much less for approved generics than for the original brand product, so the final cost can vary widely depending on which version is dispensed.

If you tell me your dose, I can help narrow it
If you share:
- your prescribed strength (e.g., 400 mg, 600 mg),
- how many tablets/capsules per month,
- your country (U.S. vs. elsewhere), and
- whether you’re using brand or generic,
I can help you estimate what “cost” usually looks like for that setup and where to check the most relevant price points.
