Where is safe to buy Esbriet (pirfenidone) from Canada online?
Esbriet (pirfenidone) is an expensive medication that can slow the loss of lung function caused from an incurable lung disease called idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, or I.P.F.
The standard dose of Esbriet is 801 mg per day — 3 capsules, each containing 267 mg of the active ingredient, pirfenidone. In the United States, the current average retail price of one capsule of Esbriet 267 mg is around $35. Even with discounts and coupons available online, the daily price tag is still out of reach for many, especially those Americans without insurance. Esbriet's generic (pirfenidone) is still quite expensive in U.S. pharmacies as well.
You can find much lower prices for Esbriet or pirfenidone internationally from a licensed pharmacy in Canada or other country. The lowest price found when comparing Esbriet 267 mg prices among PharmacyChecker-verified international online pharmacies is currently $24.61 per pill. That's a 30% savings on life saving medication.
Outside the U.S., pirfenidone — the generic — is sold as 200 mg tablets (so 4 tablets would provide a similar dose — 800 mg). In the U.S., the price of each 267 mg brand-name capsule (without any discount) comes out to about $35, while a 200 mg generic tablet—available from outside the U.S.—costs 72 cents. That's 98% savings on life saving medication.
