Eliglustat vs. Cerdelga® - How MedsPartner Offers Trusted Generics for Gaucher's Disease at Lower Cost

For patients who are dealing with the rare and life-threatening Gaucher’s Disease, it is often difficult to access affordable treatment, especially when the cost of branded meds, including Cerdelga® (eliglustat), comes with a high price tag and emotional stress.

At MedsPartner, we understand your need for an affordable alternative, so we help patients access Safe, Affordable, and High-Quality generic versions of eliglustat globally. Here is an overview of how we make it happen.

What Is Gaucher’s Disease - Common Symptoms Of The Disease

Gaucher disease is a rare and serious genetic disorder passed down from parents to children. Anyone who has Gaucher’s disease lacks an enzyme that breaks down lipids. As a result, lipids begin to build up in certain organs, primarily the spleen and liver.

Symptoms of Gaucher's Disease include

• Enlarged spleen & liver
• Eye movement disorders
• Yellow spots in the eyes
• Not having enough healthy red blood cells (anemia)
• Extreme tiredness (fatigue)
• Bruising & Lung problems
• Seizures

Types of Gaucher disease:

• Type 1 - This is the most common type of Gaucher disease and affects about 90% of people with the disease.
• Type 2 -This form of the disease affects babies at an early age and is fatal. In most cases, children don’t survive beyond 2 years old.
• Type 3 - Here, the symptoms include skeletal issues, eye movement disorders, seizures, blood disorders, breathing troubles, and liver and spleen enlargement.

Currently, there is no cure for Gaucher’s Disease, but with proper lifestyle and treatment, the symptoms can be managed mindfully. 

Medicines for Gaucher’s disease treatment

Eliglustat is an oral SRT specifically approved to treat Type 1 Gaucher disease, and it works by reducing the amount of glucocerebroside being made in the body, which helps in slowing or preventing the buildup that causes symptoms.

The branded version of Eliglustat is Cerdelga®. developed by Sanofi Genzyme. It is widely used but is expensive, especially in countries with limited insurance or public healthcare coverage.

Why is Gaucher Disease Treatment So Expensive?

Here's why the costs are so high and inaccessible-

• Complex Manufacturing - Treatments are costly and time-intensive to produce.
• Rare Disease Economics - With a small patient population, drugmakers price treatments high to recover research and development costs.
• Lifelong - Ongoing Therapy-  Most patients require biweekly infusions/medications for life, driving up cumulative treatment costs.
• Limited Competition - Few generics exist due to patent regulations, keeping prices high without market pressure.

The Cost Challenge - Cerdelga® Pricing Globally

Due to exclusivity rights and limited local availability, Cerdelga® is often sold at premium prices in countries like:

• United States
• United Kingdom
• Australia
• New Zealand

And many others

While some countries provide coverage to eligible patients and manufacturer assistance programs exist, many still fall through the cracks.

This often puts financial stress on patients and their families, especially when the treatment is long-term or lifelong.
