Import and regulatory notes
Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan (DRAP). Pakistan has a large domestic generic industry and DRAP-capped MRPs, which keeps locally produced generics cheap; oncology molecules are frequently sourced from Bangladesh or India instead of local production. Imported medicines need a DRAP import licence and a named-patient justification for unregistered products.
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 DRAP-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 Pakistan.
- 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 baricitinib cost in Pakistan?
There is no fixed public retail price for baricitinib in Pakistan in the sources we track (most supply is hospital- or named-patient based). Use the Bangladesh list price as the benchmark: BDT 20–BDT 25 (US$0.16–US$0.20) per unit, about PKR 45.08–PKR 56.35 in PKR per unit and PKR 1,353–PKR 1,691 per 30-unit month, before freight, customs duty and distributor margin.
Can I legally import baricitinib into Pakistan?
Yes, but only through the rules of the Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan (DRAP): Pakistan has a large domestic generic industry and DRAP-capped MRPs, which keeps locally produced generics cheap; oncology molecules are frequently sourced from Bangladesh or India instead of local production. Imported medicines need a DRAP import licence and a named-patient justification for unregistered products. 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 baricitinib approved in Pakistan?
We cannot confirm the registration status of every individual generic brand in Pakistan. Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan (DRAP) 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.
