For patients with Philadelphia-chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) or acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), branded Sprycel® can be very expensive. This guide explains how to buy affordable dasatinib — the generic equivalent of Sprycel — online from a licensed international pharmacy, with a valid prescription. Dasatinib should always be used as prescribed by a licensed medical professional; this article is for general information only.
What is dasatinib (generic Sprycel)?
Dasatinib is the active ingredient in Sprycel®, a BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitor used in certain Philadelphia-chromosome-positive leukaemias. Generic dasatinib contains the same active ingredient at the same 20, 50, 70 and 100 mg strengths, produced by licensed pharmaceutical manufacturers. See our dasatinib page or the full generic Sprycel comparison.
Why branded Sprycel is expensive — and why generic dasatinib costs less
Branded Sprycel reflects the originator’s research and marketing costs under patent protection. licensed generic manufacturers make the identical active ingredient without those overheads, so generic dasatinib is typically far cheaper. The molecule and strengths are the same; the difference is price.
How much does dasatinib cost around the world?
Indicative originator-brand pricing (generic dasatinib may cost significantly less):
- United States: branded Sprycel around US$15,000+ per month.
- United Kingdom: roughly £2,500 per month.
- Australia: around A$4,000 per month.
Actual generic pricing depends on country, pack size, and strength — see the product pages.
