Each row is one product from one pharmacy, shown in the pack size with the lowest price per unit; its other pack sizes are listed under “other pack sizes”. Price per unit = the pack price divided by the units in the pack, before shipping; we sort by it and don't assume how long a pack lasts. Total with shipping = the pack price plus the pharmacy's shipping fee for one order. Prices checked Nov 11, 2026 on each pharmacy's website, in U.S. dollars (converted when a pharmacy prices in Canadian dollars). The lowest price at the top of this page uses only packs whose maker the pharmacy names, or whose product country and ships-from country it states. Prices change often; confirm at checkout. “Fee not published” means the pharmacy doesn’t show its shipping fee before checkout, so that row’s total is the medicine price only.

Lowest price per unit, before shipping, from licensed pharmacies shipping to the U.S., any strength. Only your doctor can decide whether another drug is right for you.
What is Gleostine used for?
Gleostine (lomustine) is an alkylating chemotherapy medicine taken by mouth. According to its FDA label (DailyMed), it is used to treat:
- Brain tumors, both those that start in the brain and those that spread there, after surgery and/or radiation.
- Hodgkin lymphoma, together with other chemotherapy, when the disease has progressed after first treatment.
Gleostine is taken as a single dose by mouth once every 6 weeks. The label's dose is based on body size (130 mg per square meter of body surface area), rounded to the nearest 10 mg, and may need a mix of capsule strengths. It has a boxed warning: it can cause delayed, serious and sometimes fatal drops in blood counts, and taking more than one dose per cycle can be fatal, so only enough capsules for one dose should be prescribed and dispensed. Capsules should be handled with gloves and never opened. Your prescriber decides which medicine is right for you.
Is it safe to order Gleostine from Canada?
Many Americans do, but U.S. law and customs rules apply, and for Gleostine, compare the U.S. price of FDA-approved generic lomustine before you order. Federal law generally doesn't allow individuals to import prescription drugs, though under its personal importation policy the FDA has long used enforcement discretion for some personal-use shipments, generally no more than a three-month supply (FDA). Congress has said enforcement against individuals should focus on imports that pose a significant threat to public health (Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act section 804(j)(1), 21 U.S.C. 384(j)(1)). You need a prescription from your doctor. New U.S. Customs rules for mailed orders start January 20, 2027. In Canada, lomustine 10 mg and 40 mg capsules are sold as CeeNU by Septa Pharmaceuticals; the 100 mg strength is cancelled there (Health Canada).
