Does anyone know if Gleevec is cheaper if you take a lesser dose? If so, I'm thinking of asking my doctor to lower mine so I don't need to pay as much. I got to remission really fast so maybe I don't need as much as I am taking.
Is 300 mg. of Gleevec cheaper than 400 mg.?

Beanie, when I was on 400mg of G, my copay was the same as
300mg. It may cost the insurance co. less but it did not affect
my co-pay.

You would want to buy 100mg tablets. They are priced by the tablet, so taking 3 would be cheaper than taking 4. That is just an economics view.
