sorry to jump in 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
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

right so hong kong, is it pharmacy or clinic in practice
india generics, is that a real landscape now or mostly talk

every price in this channel is a snapshot from the month it was typed. pricing in the region moved a lot and unevenly
🎉7
a parcel of mine was held inside the region and released after 14 days with no letter and no charge
getting seen in korea was faster than any route a uk member described at the time we were both describing it, i could be wrong
are the indian products the same compounds or something else entirely
anyone had a parcel stopped moving between two asian countries
while im here hong kong members reported both clinic and pharmacy routes and a wide price range between the two
sorry to jump in does a closer supplier actually mean fewer customs steps
write it down for the pharmacy
how careful should i be about the claims on an indian generic

nobody here can tell you what will clear customs where you are and that is enforced in this channel, your mileage will differ
singapore handles personal quantities of prescription medicine under its own rules and i would not try to summarise them from memory
*VendorInvestigate not the other one
held for 17 days
being closer to the manufacturing does not shorten customs. my parcels from three hours away took as long as ones from europe
closer supplier, fewer flight hours, same number of customs steps. the steps are the slow part

how do people handle the language side with a local pharmacy
is the korean clinic route cheaper than a pharmacy elsewhere
whats the position in taiwan or thailand, anyone at all
japan approved it a while back didnt it, what does it cost there
the room does not treat closer as safer, and it took a few bad experiences to get us there
customs inside asia caught my parcel once in four years. that is my rate, not a regional statistic, anyway
sourcing is physically closer here, why is it not simpler
reported by members, own currency, not comparable directly
private clinic, UK 145 - 220
statutory, DE 10 co-pay
private script, DE 180 - 240
pharmacy, PL 95 - 140
pharmacy, SE 210 - 260🧪14🎉3💀1
is japan expensive because of the approval or in spite of it
[edited]language with a local pharmacy went better once i brought the compound name written down. spoken, it never worked once
[edited]japan approved it for both indications a while ago as i understood it, and the approval did not make it cheap
korea is fast
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
