Just had my routine check up with my doctor.. Was told that the oral tablet, Fingolimod is out in the states and it's bound to be more expensive than Rebif!! I guess that's to be expected. But if it's gonna be more expensive than Rebif, i wonder how many people will be able to afford the tablets. I know 1 type of tablet is for daily consumption, and another is for a few weeks every 3 months. Fingolimod is the first type, daily (I think :P). So i've got some time to think about using oral tablets...
It'll definately be a comfort... Compared to Rebif, i won't have to jab and it's not every alternative day that i'll have to use it BUT i read that it's at least 30% more expensive than Rebif... so hmmm, something to think about? :)
The good news is, with the new tablets out, the price of Rebif is 'speculated' to go down. So, it's gonna be cheaper... Yeay!! :) but that's only gonna mean that i'll still stick to Rebif and continue jabbing myself for another year or 2 till the price of Fingolimod goes down? hmmm... something to think about..
