Efficient use of mepolizumab in children: An analysis of the economically justifiable price in Colombia

Our study shows that the economically justifiable cost for mepolizumab in Colombia is between $33 and $350 per dose, for WTP of 4828 and 5180 respectively. This result should encourage more studies in the region that optimize decision-making processes when incorporating this drug into the health plans of each country.

Abstract

Our study shows that the economically justifiable cost for mepolizumab in Colombia is between $33 and $350 per dose, for WTP of 4828 and 5180 respectively. This result should encourage more studies in the region that optimize decision-making processes when incorporating this drug into the health plans of each country.
