It has positive survival outcomes in AML with good tolerability. However, it seems unavailable in Canada.
Does anyone have experience in using this medication? Obtaining it in Canada and its cost? or assistance in getting it?
Thanks - David

This week Vidaza was approved in Canada.
The drug is currently only available through the Special Access progam (SAP) from Health Canada.
In the meantime you can contact Celegene Medical Information at 1-888-712-2353 ( Extention 4850) and they will be able to give you information on this program and accessing the drug.
