Purchase Channels of Cabozantinib
Overseas Offline Purchase
Cabozantinib is not officially launched in China at present. Patients can choose to purchase it overseas offline, but sufficient preparations need to be made in advance.
You should bring complete medical records to visit regular hospitals in countries or regions where cabozantinib has been approved for marketing (such as the United States, some EU countries, India, etc.).
The advantage of this method is that you can communicate directly with overseas doctors and obtain professional medication guidance. However, it also has certain limitations, such as the need to bear round-trip transportation, accommodation and other expenses, long time consumption, and familiarity with local medical procedures and language communication, which is difficult for some patients to operate.
Purchase Through Formal Online Platforms
With the development of cross-border medical services, formal online medical platforms have become one of the important channels for purchasing cabozantinib. Patients can choose a formal medical platform, submit detailed disease information through the platform, and purchase cabozantinib without leaving home.
When choosing an online platform, be sure to carefully check the qualification certificates of the platform to avoid trusting unqualified fake platforms and prevent buying counterfeit and shoddy medicines.
