Highlights from this day

underfill_uma — for the archive whats the position in taiwan or thailand, anyone at all 22:01
still_here_2024 — update from 7 months ago: availability in the region is broadly the same and the prices i track are slightly higher, take that with a pinch of salt 22:45
ms_ms_mira — is anyone here avoiding summer shipping the way the australians do 23:03

no letter no charge

avoid august

does a closer supplier actually mean fewer customs steps

a korean member said their clinic visit took under an hour end to end, which is not a claim about the quality of the assessment

the room does not treat closer as safer, and it took a few bad experiences to get us there, anyway

every price in this channel is a snapshot from the month it was typed. pricing in the region moved a lot and unevenly, i think
the indian landscape is qualitatively different from research supply, it is a licensed pharmaceutical industry, and that is still not a guarantee about the vial you received

japan approved it for both indications a while ago as i understood it, and the approval did not make it cheap

transit inside the region ran 20 days for me, which was not faster than a longer route with a better carrier

ms_ms_miralab22:07

japan approved it

insurance in the region tracked the diabetes indication in every country a member reported on

ms_ms_mira the room does not treat closer as safer, and it took a few bad experiences to get us…

korea has a clinic culture where this is straightforward to obtain, and members reported that as both a convenience and a concern
language with a local pharmacy went better once i brought the compound name written down. spoken, it never worked once

i treat a claim about an indian generic the way i treat any claim about any product. get a lot number and get it tested

still_here_2024 22:18

singapore was reported in here at around 400 to 600 singapore dollars a month a year or so ago, prescription only, for what its worth

a member in hong kong and a member in singapore compared the same dose and came out about forty percent apart
generics being available and generics being right for your situation are different questions, and only one of them is a chat question

seoul_swirl 22:26

customs inside asia caught my parcel once in four years. that is my rate, not a regional statistic
the honest position on india is that i have seen good material and bad material and the paperwork told me nothing either way

factory_direct_fi 22:30

is it covered by insurance anywhere in the region

sgp_subq 22:34

the carrier matters more than the distance, and that is the thing this channel took two years to agree on

factory_direct_fi 22:37

anyone compared a japanese pharmacy price against a private clinic in the region

thailand and taiwan come up occasionally and we have almost no member reports from either, so i would not guess
