The price of Enxidipine (used for certain acute myeloid leukemias) varies significantly depending on the version, specification, and distribution channel. The original European/American drug costs approximately 30,000-35,000 RMB per box (100mg x 30 tablets); generic versions from Laos, India, and other countries are significantly cheaper, ranging from 1,000-4,000 RMB per box (mostly 50mg x 30 tablets). Currently, this drug is not covered by my country;s medical insurance and must be paid entirely out of pocket.
I. Core Price Range
Original European/American drugs (such as Idhifa): 100mg x 30 tablets/box costs approximately 30,000-35,000 RMB. At a standard daily dose of 100mg, the monthly cost exceeds 30,000 RMB.

II. Key Factors Affecting Price
Specification Differences:
For the same quantity per box, the unit price of 100mg tablets is usually higher than that of 50mg, but the actual cost needs to be calculated based on the daily dosage.
Purchase Channels:
Domestic Regular Hospital Pharmacies: Higher price, but reliable source;
Overseas Purchases or Online Channels: Lower price (e.g., some channels as low as 1500 RMB/box), but there are risks of logistics delays, counterfeit drugs, and legal compliance issues.
Exchange Rates and Market Fluctuations:
Generic drug prices fluctuate with exchange rates and supply chain changes. For example, the estimated reference price for the Lao version in 2025 is 1350-2200 RMB per box.
III. Important Notes
No Medical Insurance Coverage:
All versions are out-of-pocket expenses; there is no reimbursement channel.
Channel Security:
Prioritize purchasing from hospitals or authorized pharmacies. Avoid purchasing from unofficial agents to prevent buying counterfeit or substandard drugs.
Consult a Professional:
Before using any medication, a specialist doctor should evaluate the patient, select the appropriate dosage based on their condition, and confirm the legality of the drug.
