Rituxan Is Far Cheaper Than Other Therapy Options Over Myasthenia Gravis Patients’ Lifetimes, Study Shows
The cost of Genentech’s myasthenia gravis treatment Rituxan (rituximab) is half that of the blood purification process known as plasmapheresis and a third that of intravenous immunoglobulin therapy over a patient’s lifetime, according to a study. Few health insurance systems reimburse the costs of Rituxan for myasthenia gravis, the researchers noted.
