Re: Cost of Tykerb and Xeloda
Dear Joan
This is from Chennai(Madras)India.The Onc prescribes a two month dosage4 Tykerbs a day & 4 Xelodas a day.Xeloda one wek on one week off.The cost when converted to US$ comes to 2250$ for a two month course.Our mediclaim was exhausted last year mid way of the herceptin regime and I have made a claim for the first two months of Tykerb and Xeloda (of 2011) to the TPA of the insurer and I am awaiting a reply
Wish you all the best
