Highlights from this day
  • lean_mass_lex — anyone shipped from inside the region and had it take longer than from further away 13:49
  • lean_mass_lex — japan being expensive despite the approval is the pattern. approval sets the licence and the pricing system sets the price, thats just me 15:06
  • sgp_subq — being closer to the manufacturing does not shorten customs. my parcels from three hours away took as long as ones from europe, from memory 15:22

right so how careful should i be about the claims on an indian generic

UU

every price in this channel is a snapshot from the month it was typed. pricing in the region moved a lot and unevenly

TT

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

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, someone check my working

SS

coming back after 17 months, has anything changed on availability in the region

SS

korea has a clinic culture where this is straightforward to obtain, and members reported that as both a convenience and a concern

a parcel of mine was held inside the region and released after 25 days with no letter and no charge

transit inside the region ran 8 days for me, which was not faster than a longer route with a better carrier

MM

slightly off topic but a member in hong kong and a member in singapore compared the same dose and came out about forty percent apart

MM

sourcing is physically closer here, why is it not simpler
summer shipping matters here too. i avoid july and august the way australian members avoid january

SS

getting seen in korea was faster than any route a uk member described at the time we were both describing it, n of 1 obviously

MM

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

FD

india has a real generics manufacturing base and a real domestic market. what a specific product is, and whether it matches its label, is a separate question every single time
