Disease awareness days, like World CML Day, are stark reminders of how important access to treatment is.
Today is World CML Day. ![]()
It's been twenty years of life-changing therapies, but our work is not done yet. No one should lose their life because of medications that don't work or because they can't access the treatments they need. #wcmlday
For anyone who is a part of the Gleevec Alliance Patient Support Program ... you will be receiving a letter from Novartis in the next week letting you know that Novartis will no longer be paying the difference in price between the brand (Gleevec) and the generic as of Nov 1, 2021. As a result, you will likely be switched to the generic version after Nov 1. Delivery of your medication will also cease. There have been numerous studies done on the efficacy of generic Imatinib and it has been found to be just as effective as the brand Gleevec.![]()
Should you have any questions, you can contact the Alliance Program directly at 1-855-489-4362. Also feel free to contact the CML Network at info@cmlnetwork.ca.
