In late April, the Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company added another oncology drug to its formulary: capecitabine.
on April 26, radiation oncologist Fumiko Ladd Chino, MD, celebrated the addition of capecitabine to the online pharmacy:"costplusdrugs has #Xeloda #capecitabine for <$25/month for a 500mg BID dose WITHOUT health insurance. This will be a game changer" for those with GI cancers and triple-negative breast cancer.
Cuban has been very transparent about drug costs at his online pharmacy."People can see exactly what they are paying for," Chino, of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York City, told. The pricing on the site lays out the"cost of ingredients and manufacturing plus a 15% margin, $3 pharmacy dispensing fee, and $5 shipping fee."
