What is REBLOZYL?
REBLOZYL 25 MG contains LUSPATERCEPT : 25 MG. It is listed in the Health Canada Drug Product Database under DIN 02505541, held by BRISTOL-MYERS SQUIBB CANADA, supplied as POWDER FOR SOLUTION for SUBCUTANEOUS administration. Health Canada currently lists it as marketed, status dated 24-Feb-2025.

What is REBLOZYL used for?
Reblozyl® (luspatercept for injection) is indicated for: Beta(β)-Thalassemia - the treatment of adult patients with red blood cell (RBC) transfusion-dependent anemia associated with beta(β)-thalassemia. Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) - the treatment of adult patients with transfusion-dependent anemia due to very low- to intermediate-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) who have not been previously treated with an erythropoiesis stimulating agent (ESA-naïve). - the treatment of adult patients with transfusion-dependent anemia requiring at least two RBC units over 8 weeks resulting from very low- to intermediate-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) who have ring sideroblasts (RS+) and who have failed or are not suitable for erythropoietin-based therapy.
Authorized indication as written in the Health Canada product monograph. For healthcare professionals and licensed purchasers; this is not medical advice.
How much does Luspatercept cost around the world?
Luspatercept is listed on 7 of the national price registers Nexara ingests. Each country publishes on a different basis, so figures are not comparable with one another — or with a Canadian wholesale price.
What a market publishes matters more than the number it publishes. Czechia publishes a max producer price (ex-factory); Greece publishes a producer price (ex-factory); Italy publishes a prezzo al pubblico (classe A). Comparing an ex-factory ceiling against a pharmacy public price tells you nothing about either, and comparing either against a Canadian landed cost tells you less.
| Market | Price basis published there | Brands | Packs listed |
|---|---|---|---|
| United Arab Emirates | public | 2 | 2 |
| Czechia | max producer price (ex-factory) | 1 | 2 |
| Greece | producer price (ex-factory) | 2 | 2 |
| Italy | prezzo al pubblico (classe A) | 2 | 2 |
| Norway | max AUP (pharmacy retail) | 1 | 2 |
| Romania | max producer price | 2 | 2 |
| Saudi Arabia | public | 1 | 2 |
14 pack listings across 11 brand entries and 6 price bases, refreshed 07 Sep 2026. Ranges span every Luspatercept pack in that market, so a high figure is usually a larger pack rather than the same product.
Canada publishes no comparable public list price. For a delivered Canadian price on a licensed account, verify your licence — it takes about a minute.
Is there a generic Luspatercept in Canada, and who makes it?
Every market authorization holder with a Canadian DIN for this molecule, and how many of their listings Health Canada currently shows as marketed.
Only one market authorization holder has a Canadian DIN containing Luspatercept — 2 DINs, of which 2 are currently marketed. There is no second Canadian source today, so a supply interruption on this holder has no domestic substitute at the same molecule.
| Market authorization holder | DINs | Marketed | Brand names | Position |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BRISTOL-MYERS SQUIBB CANADA | 2 | 2 | REBLOZYL | Sourceable in Canada |
Health Canada’s Drug Product Database does not flag which listing is the originator and which are subsequent-entry products, so Nexara does not label them here. Interchangeability is determined provincially, not federally — confirm for your province before a formulary switch. Nexara can confirm which of these is actually obtainable, and on what lead time, per order.
How is it supplied and stored?
Pack configuration, storage class and the handling constraints that drive cold-chain planning. One DIN can cover more than one pack size, and the pack — not the DIN — is what gets priced, shipped and invoiced.
| Strength on the label | 25 MG |
|---|---|
| Dosage form | POWDER FOR SOLUTION |
| Route | SUBCUTANEOUS |
| Pack configuration (monograph) | 25 mg / vial, 75 mg / vial, 1 vial / carton |
| Storage | Store at room temperature at 20 °C to 25 °C in the original vial for up to 8 hours. Alternatively, store refrigerated at 2 °C to 8 °C for up to 24 hours in the original vial. Do not freeze the reconstituted solution. |
| Shipping class | Cold chain — validated shipper with temperature monitoring |
Before an order line is unambiguous Nexara needs the strength, the pack size and the presentation.
Cold chain. This product is stored refrigerated. Nexara ships it on a validated cold chain with temperature monitoring; a delivery address that cannot receive and store it at 2–8 °C on arrival must be flagged before the order is placed.

What can be used instead?
Alternatives on every axis a buyer actually considers — the same molecule in another presentation, the same class, an adjacent class, or a fixed-dose combination. Every row is led by the marketed DIN count, because that is what can be bought this week.
1 · Same molecule, other Canadian presentations
2 of 2 Canadian DINs for this molecule are currently marketed. Marketed products are listed first.

| Methoxy Polyethylene Glycol-Epoetin Beta | MIRCERA | 15 | 0 | Not in Canada |
A molecule with zero marketed DINs cannot be sourced domestically, however many approvals it holds — if one of these sits on a formulary or in an older protocol, that is the line to check.
Not clinical advice. These tables describe what can be supplied in Canada, not what should be prescribed. Substitution within or across classes is a prescriber and pharmacist decision, and interchangeability is determined provincially.
How can I get it?
Nexara Health supplies this product to licensed Canadian buyers — pharmacies, hospitals, clinics, licensed distributors, and clinical trial sponsors or their CROs. We confirm stock, pack size, expiry and pricing at the time of quotation. If the product is on backorder or in shortage, we identify equivalent alternatives and import options where permitted.
Ordering questions
Who can buy this from Nexara?
Licensed entities only. Nexara holds Health Canada establishment licence DEL 3-002896-A and ships only to a licensed address. Patients and unlicensed buyers are routed to a partner pharmacy.
Is there a minimum order?
Yes, set per product line and per pack multiple rather than on the order total, so you are never asked to buy a part-pack. The minimum for this line is confirmed with your quote.
What is the lead time?
Confirmed per order at quotation, and it depends on current stock position and whether the product is in shortage.
Why is there no price on this page?
Nexara quotes a delivered Canadian price per order, against a verified licence. Foreign list prices are published on incompatible bases and are not a guide to what any buyer can obtain here, so this page shows which markets list the molecule and on what basis, and nothing more.
Can Nexara supply this for a clinical trial?
Yes — comparator and background-therapy supply, including sourcing from other markets where a Canadian pack will not satisfy the protocol. Clinical trial supply.
