anyone compared a japanese pharmacy price against a private clinic in the region
for the archive does anyone in hong kong want to compare prices
[edited]korea has a clinic culture where this is straightforward to obtain, and members reported that as both a convenience and a concern
customs inside asia, is it easier between neighbouring countries
singapore handles personal quantities of prescription medicine under its own rules and i would not try to summarise them from memory
avoid august
[edited]i was wrong about japanese pricing by a factor of two when i quoted it in here, because i was quoting a clinic and somebody else was quoting a pharmacy
hong kong members reported both clinic and pharmacy routes and a wide price range between the two
nobody here can tell you what will clear customs where you are and that is enforced in this channel
japanese insurance covered the diabetes indication and not the weight one as far as anyone here could establish a year ago
is japan expensive because of the approval or in spite of it
update from 9 months ago: availability in the region is broadly the same and the prices i track are slightly higher

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
japan approved it for both indications a while ago as i understood it, and the approval did not make it cheap, i could be wrong
nobody here can tell you what will clear customs where you are and that is enforced in this channel, thats just me
transit inside the region ran 19 days for me, which was not faster than a longer route with a better carrier, thats one data point
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
coming back to this a member in hong kong and a member in singapore compared the same dose and came out about forty percent apart

is the korean clinic route cheaper than a pharmacy elsewhere
