Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
This medicine is not available but if a bigger pharmacy is contacted, they can get it imported. The rates will be atleast 20% higher than it is available abroad. (Because shipping and handling are also involved). In USA, the cost for Taltz subcutaneous solution (80 mg/mL) is around $4,674 for a supply of 1 milliliter(s).
Recommended dose is 160 mg (two 80 mg injections) at Week 0, followed by 80 mg at Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12, then 80 mg every 4 weeks. Atleast 7 doses are administered and then one every 4 weeks. So the cost can be really high.
It is being prepared and marketed by XXXXXXX XXXXXXX and Company. In XXXXXXX their contact number is : 91-124-0000/01. They can be contacted during office hours.
Hope it answers your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
