The price of the original 10mg product just before the generic listing is higher than the high content
The drug price will be lowered to 53.55% of the existing upper limit from the 22nd after losing an administrative lawsuit against the drug price lowered by the anticoagulant Xarelto with the government. As a result, it will be the same as the highest price of generics registered last year. However, the drug price of Xarelto 10mg is expected to be about 20 won higher than the original. What is the reason? First, Xarelto 10mg immediately before generic registration was higher in drug price than Xarelto 15mg or Xarelto 20mg. The original three dosages were the same at 2,626 won at the time of initial registration, but just before the generic registration in July last year, the price of Xarelto 10mg was 2,487 won for Xare
