Anyone know where I can buy the generic form of Tarceva?  What it is called?  I heard it is available now.  Please help us.

I have not heard of a generic form and doubt if one would be out so soon. Are you referring to the drug that is to take the place of Tarceva if no longer effective?

Hi Sharon,

There is no generic for Tarceva.  The new drug coming out later this year is called Zactima, but it will not be available in generic either.

As far as I know, based on a conversation with my oncologist, cancer drugs are not available in generic form anywhere.

Thanks for your reply.  I am not looking for a new one.  Since my father-in-law has been taking this for the last 3 years, and effective, we are not going to change.  Only looking for ways to lower the cost...

I have heard that the makers of Tarceva has a program to help pay for the medicine.  You might want to check there website for informaiton.

That will be a blessing for many if they soon get a generic of it but I haven't heard of any yet.  Good luck it is expensive.
