Generic azacitidine/Decitabine
In India, we have the generic form of Vidaza, azacitidine, which is at a very much lower cost. You can try to import the medicine from India. It's manufactured by a company called Intas. Decitabine, known as Dacogen, a drug similar to Vidaza is also available here in its generic version.
All the best for your Dad!!
