Buying from a pharmacy outside the U.S.? Read Is it safe to order Iressa from Canada?

90-day cost = 90 tablets at the usual dose of 1 a day, bought as one order of whole packs with one shipping fee. 90-day cost is worked out from each pharmacy's real order size so different pack sizes compare fairly. Orders are kept within a 3-month supply (92 days); a pack that is larger than that is marked and not used for the lowest price at the top of this page. Prices checked Nov 12, 2026 on each pharmacy's website, in U.S. dollars. Savings compare with the U.S. list price. 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. Price is the pharmacy's own price for one pack, as shown on its website (converted to U.S. dollars when it prices in Canadian dollars). Delivery is the pharmacy's own estimate for the shipping option shown, not a promise; some pharmacies count from when they receive your prescription or ship the order. Total = the packs needed + shipping. When those packs don't add up to exactly 90 days, the row shows what that order costs and, under it, what it works out to for 90 days; we sort by the 90-day amount so pack sizes compare fairly. 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.

Iressa coupons and savings programs

How do you pay?

We show the programs that usually fit, cheapest first where we know the price. Private insurance means a plan through work or one you buy yourself. Programs set their own rules, so check the terms before you count on one. We don't save this choice.

eDrugSearch does not offer its own Iressa coupons. eDrugSearch has no coupons of its own. If you have Medicare, these two programs can help with the cost of brand Iressa or generic gefitinib:

  • Medicare Extra Help: if you have Medicare and limited income, Extra Help lowers what you pay for prescriptions. (Social Security)
  • Medicare Prescription Payment Plan: a free Medicare option that spreads your drug costs into monthly payments across the year. It doesn't lower the total, but it can make costs easier to manage. (Medicare.gov)

Is there a generic Iressa?

Yes. The FDA has approved generic gefitinib 250 mg tablets from several makers, rated equivalent to Iressa. The first, from Apotex, was approved on September 23, 2022.

What is Iressa used for?

Iressa is a kinase inhibitor, a targeted cancer medicine that blocks a growth signal (EGFR) in some lung tumors. According to its FDA label (DailyMed), it is used:

  • As a first treatment for adults with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread (metastatic), when the tumor has certain EGFR gene changes (exon 19 deletions or the exon 21 L858R change) found by an FDA-approved test.

The label's dose is 250 mg once a day, with or without food. For people who have trouble swallowing, the label explains how to mix the tablet in water. Your prescriber decides which medicine is right for you.

Is it safe to order Iressa from Canada?

Many Americans do, but U.S. law and customs rules apply, and for Iressa, compare the U.S. price of FDA-approved generic gefitinib 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. Health Canada lists Iressa 250 mg from AstraZeneca Canada as marketed (Health Canada Drug Product Database, checked 2026-11-12).
