Tazemetostat is a targeted drug used to treat epithelioid sarcoma and follicular lymphoma. It blocks the growth and diffusion of lesion cells by inhibiting the activity of EZH2 methyltransferase. Due to the high price of original drugs, many patients pay attention to the effects of generic drugs.
Is Tazemetostat generic drug effective?
Tazemetostat's generic drugs are similar to the original drugs in terms of efficacy and safety, but the price is more affordable. The production process and ingredients of generic drugs are basically the same as those of the original drugs, which can effectively inhibit the activity of EZH2 methyltransferase and help control the growth and spread of lesions.
The efficacy of generic drugs
Tazemetostat's generic drug showed similar efficacy in clinical trials as the original drug. Generic drugs provide patients with affordable treatment options by inhibiting the activity of EZH2 methyltransferase and blocking the growth and spread of lesion cells.
Safety of generic drugs
Tazemetostat's generic drug is also similar to the original drug in terms of safety. Common side effects include fatigue, nausea, and decreased appetite. Patients should monitor adverse reactions regularly during use and adjust the dose according to the doctor's advice.
Generic drugs are similar to original drugs in terms of efficacy and safety, but the prices are more affordable. Next, we will introduce the difference between generic Tazemetostat and original drug.
The difference between generic drugs for Tazemetostat and original drugs
Tazemetostat's generic drugs and original drugs are basically the same in terms of ingredients, efficacy and safety, but the prices are different from those of the manufacturer. Generic drugs are usually cheaper and are suitable for patients with limited economic conditions.
Price difference
The original drug of Tazemetostat is relatively expensive, with a reference price of 200mg*240 tablets, which is about US$7,213. The price of generic drugs is relatively low.

Will drug resistance appear after long-term use of Tazemetostat？
Tazemetostat may develop drug resistance during long-term use. The production of drug resistance is related to genetic mutations in lesion cells and changes in drug action mechanisms. Patients should monitor their condition regularly during use and adjust the treatment plan if necessary.
The creation of drug resistance
Tazemetostat inhibits the activity of EZH2 methyltransferase and blocks the growth and spread of lesion cells. Long-term use may lead to drug resistance in lesion cells and affects the therapeutic effect of the drug. Patients should undergo genetic testing regularly to detect drug resistance in a timely manner.
Strategies to deal with drug resistance
If the patient develops resistance during Tazemetostat, the doctor may adjust the treatment plan, such as the use of other targeted drugs or chemotherapy drugs in combination. Patients should strictly follow the doctor's instructions and review them regularly.
