A cancer diagnosis brings a second shock soon after the first: the price of the drugs. In Pakistan, anticancer medicines carry no tax exempt status, so high retail prices remain the single biggest barrier to staying on treatment. A study at Aga Khan University Hospital in Karachi found that 42% of breast and head and neck chemotherapy patients faced a significant financial burden, and 27% described it as unmanageable.
PakMeds exists to close that gap. PakMeds lists chemotherapy drugs, targeted therapy, hormone therapy and supportive care medication at prices built for real households, with every product traced back to a licensed source. Browse the full range on the oncology category, or upload your prescription and let the PakMeds team locate exactly what your oncologist ordered.
Why Affordable Cancer Medicine Access Matters in Pakistan
Pakistan now records more than 173,000 new cancer cases and over 118,000 cancer deaths every year, according to data published by the Journal of the College of Physicians and Surgeons Pakistan. Breast cancer is the most common malignancy at 16.5% of cases, followed by lip and oral cavity cancer and lung cancer.
Around 30% of patients reach a hospital only at stage III or stage IV, when treatment is longer and more costly. In the private sector almost every rupee is paid out of pocket, which pushes many people with cancer to skip doses or abandon therapy. PakMeds reduces that pressure by keeping authentic cancer drugs in stock at lower prices, so patients can complete the course their doctor prescribed.
Cancer Drugs and Treatment Categories Available at PakMeds
PakMeds organises its oncology range by cancer type and by treatment class, so you can find the right medication quickly. Each cancer drug is listed with its strength, pack size and prescription status, and every order is dispensed against a valid prescription.

Targeted therapy: drugs that attack specific proteins on cancer cells
Breast cancer medicines, including HER2 targeted antibodies
Lung cancer and colorectal cancer therapies
Prostate cancer, kidney cancer and thyroid cancer medication
Multiple myeloma, brain tumor and bone metastases drugs
Types of Cancer Treatment Explained
Cancer treatment usually combines several approaches, and most regimens use drug combinations rather than a single agent. Understanding the main categories helps you recognise the medicines on your prescription and what each one does.
Chemotherapy Drugs
Chemotherapy uses drugs that kill or slow rapidly dividing cells, which is why hair follicles and bone marrow are also affected. PakMeds stocks widely used chemotherapy drugs such as the taxanes Donataxel (docetaxel) and Panataxel (paclitaxel), plus platinum based agents like Oxaltie (oxaliplatin) and Kemocarb (carboplatin). Oncologists often pair these with other drugs in scheduled cycles.
Targeted Therapy
Targeted therapy blocks specific molecules that cancer cells rely on to grow, which can mean fewer effects on healthy tissue than standard chemotherapy. For HER2 positive breast cancer, PakMeds carries trastuzumab brands including Aryotrust and Traszeptin. For lung cancer, the EGFR inhibitor Tarsinib (erlotinib) is available as oral tablets.
Immunotherapy and Antibody Treatments
Immunotherapy and monoclonal antibodies recruit the immune system or specific cell markers to fight cancer. PakMeds lists the anti CD20 antibody Zytux (rituximab) for certain lymphomas and leukemias, and the anti VEGF antibody Stivant (bevacizumab). These biologic medicines must be prescribed and supervised by an oncologist.
Generic and Brand Cancer Drugs at PakMeds
A generic medicine contains the same active ingredient as the original brand, at a lower price, once the original patent expires. Generics and biosimilars are how PakMeds keeps cancer treatment affordable without compromising on the active drug.
Quality is the deciding factor with any generic, because substandard batches do exist in the regional supply chain. PakMeds sources only from licensed distributors and recognised manufacturers such as Getz, CCL, Ferozsons, Roche and Martin Dow. Every product is checked for authenticity before it reaches a patient.
Cancer Medicine Prices in Pakistan
Cancer drug prices vary widely by molecule, strength and whether the product is a generic or an originator biologic. The table below shows representative PakMeds prices to give you a realistic picture. Prices are indicative and change over time, so check the live product page for the current rate.
Medicine | Drug Class | Common Use | Indicative PakMeds Price |

Oxaltie (oxaliplatin) | Platinum based chemotherapy | Colorectal cancer | From Rs 8,500 |
Tarsinib (erlotinib) 150mg | EGFR targeted therapy | Lung cancer | From Rs 22,870 |
Zytux (rituximab) 100mg | Monoclonal antibody | Lymphoma, leukemia | From Rs 18,990 |
Aryotrust (trastuzumab) 150mg | HER2 targeted antibody | HER2 positive breast cancer | From Rs 140,760 |
Managing Cancer Drug Side Effects
Every effective cancer drug carries possible side effects, because the same power that kills cancer cells can affect healthy ones. Knowing what to expect helps patients and caregivers respond early instead of panicking.
Common chemotherapy side effects include nausea, hair loss, fatigue and a drop in blood counts. A low white cell count, called neutropenia, raises infection risk and is one reason oncologists monitor blood and bone marrow recovery between cycles.
Report any fever, unusual bleeding or severe symptoms to your oncology doctor without delay. Supportive care does not replace medical supervision, and your doctor decides how to adjust treatment.
