Mesothelioma Medications, Costs & Savings
Pharmacist insight
Medication adherence is particularly critical for oral chemotherapy agents. I work closely with patients to manage side effects that might cause them to skip doses. Many supportive care medications — anti-nausea drugs, growth factors — are available in generic form, helping reduce the overall cost burden of cancer treatment.

Mesothelioma is a rare, aggressive cancer primarily caused by asbestos exposure, affecting the lining of the lungs, abdomen, or heart. Treatment often involves expensive medications, adding financial strain during an already challenging time. TheDrugClub offers a simple way to significantly reduce prescription costs, helping patients and families afford the vital care they need.

MedlinePlus overview of Mesothelioma
The tissue that lines your lungs, stomach, heart, and other organs is called mesothelium. Mesothelioma, also known as malignant mesothelioma, is cancer of that tissue. It usually starts in the lungs, but can also start in the abdomen or other organs.
Malignant mesothelioma is rare but serious. Most people who get it have worked or lived in places where they inhaled or swallowed asbestos particles. After being exposed to asbestos, it usually takes a long time for the disease to form.
Symptoms include:
Trouble breathing
Cough
Pain under the rib cage
Pain, swelling, or lumps in the abdomen
Weight loss for no known reason
Blood clots
Constipation
Fatigue
Sometimes it is hard to tell the difference between malignant mesothelioma and lung cancer. To find out if you have mesothelioma, your health care provider will likely use a physical exam, imaging tests, and a biopsy.
Malignant mesothelioma is often found when it is advanced. This makes it harder to treat. Treatment options may include:
Surgery
Radiation therapy
Chemotherapy
Immunotherapy
Targeted therapy, which uses drugs or other substances that attack specific cancer cells with less harm to normal cells
