Import and regulatory notes
National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA). Malaysia has one of the better-regulated generics markets in ASEAN: products must be registered with the NPRA with a valid product licence, and hospital procurement runs through government tenders. Patient-level imports of unregistered products require an NPRA import authorisation.
How to obtain it legally
- Obtain a prescription plus the diagnostic/genetic report from the treating physician (e.g. the target-mutation result).
- Confirm the exact brand and strength, and ask the supplier for the batch number, certificate of analysis (COA) and the manufacturer's GMP credentials.
- Clear the shipment through a NPRA-licensed importer or pharmacy; unregistered products go through the named-patient route.
- Check batch number, expiry and packaging on arrival, then follow the prescriber's monitoring schedule.
What adds to the price when you import
- International freight and cold chain (monoclonal antibodies and insulins need 2–8°C end-to-end).
- Customs duty and import VAT in Malaysia.
- Compliance, licensing and warehousing cost of the importer/distributor (typically 10–30%).
- Order size and pack configuration — full cases price below retail strips.
- Exchange-rate movement: this page converts at 1 USD = 122.87 BDT.

Frequently asked questions
How much does alectinib cost in Malaysia?
There is no fixed public retail price for alectinib in Malaysia in the sources we track (most supply is hospital- or named-patient based). Use the Bangladesh list price as the benchmark: BDT 500–BDT 500 (US$4.07–US$4.07) per unit, about MYR 16.6–MYR 16.6 in MYR per unit and MYR 498.09–MYR 498.09 per 30-unit month, before freight, customs duty and distributor margin.
Can I legally import alectinib into Malaysia?
Yes, but only through the rules of the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA): Malaysia has one of the better-regulated generics markets in ASEAN: products must be registered with the NPRA with a valid product licence, and hospital procurement runs through government tenders. Patient-level imports of unregistered products require an NPRA import authorisation. Prescription medicines must move on a valid prescription through a licensed importer, pharmacy or hospital; personal-use imports need a named-patient / compassionate-use authorisation.
Are Bangladeshi or Indian generics of alectinib approved in Malaysia?
We cannot confirm the registration status of every individual generic brand in Malaysia. National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA) is the approving authority, and only products with a local product registration (or a special import authorisation) may be sold routinely. Ask your supplier for the local registration or import permit for the specific brand before you buy.
Why is the Bangladesh price a useful reference?
Bangladesh is a least-developed-country WTO member with a pharmaceutical patent exemption running to 2033, so local manufacturers can legally produce molecules that are still on patent elsewhere — and DGDA-registered list prices are public. That makes it the practical global floor price for on-patent targeted therapy and the benchmark used in import negotiations.
What is the availability situation for alectinib in Malaysia?
Malaysia: Not confirmed. No NPRA approval record or price source for alectinib was located in this search round
