We provide information to allow people living with Cystic Fibrosis to access more affordable modulator medicines
Vertex Pharmaceuticals have demanded such high prices for their cystic fibrosis medicines that they are unaffordable for health systems in countries all around the world. Thousands of patients have been prevented from accessing treatments that could transform their lives. We think this is unacceptable.
We provide information that allows people living with cystic fibrosis to access more affordable, but quality-assured generic versions of modulator medicines including ivacaftor (Vertex brand name Kalydeco®), ivacaftor-lumacaftor (Vertex brand name Orkambi®) and ivacaftor-tezacaftor (Vertex brand name Symdeco®/Symkevi®).
Many countries around the world have legal exemptions allowing the purchase and import of medicines for personal use. Through so-called buyer’s clubs, thousands of patients affected by a range of conditions have accessed quality medicines at a fraction of the price demanded by the patent holder company.
The current prices from Gador, a generics manufacturer based in Argentina, are drastically lower than Vertex’s list price. If you are interested in buying medicines or would like further information please email: info@cfbuyersclub.org
