while im here does a closer supplier actually mean fewer customs steps
getting seen in korea was faster than any route a uk member described at the time we were both describing it
diabetes indication only

customs inside asia caught my parcel once in four years. that is my rate, not a regional statistic
as of about a year ago korea had the shortest path from deciding to starting of anywhere members here had described, i could be wrong
the carrier matters

the honest position on india is that i have seen good material and bad material and the paperwork told me nothing either way
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
member reported range

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
held for 11 days
being closer to the manufacturing does not shorten customs. my parcels from three hours away took as long as ones from europe
quick one a member in hong kong and a member in singapore compared the same dose and came out about forty percent apart
i keep the compound name and the dose written in the local language in my phone and it has been more useful than any app

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
no letter no charge
closer isnt simpler
korea is fast

customs between asian countries has not been noticeably easier in anything members have reported. each border is its own border
closer supplier, fewer flight hours, same number of customs steps. the steps are the slow part

coming back after 5 months, has anything changed on availability in the region
singapore was reported in here at around 400 to 600 singapore dollars a month a year or so ago, prescription only
japan being expensive despite the approval is the pattern. approval sets the licence and the pricing system sets the price
generics being available and generics being right for your situation are different questions, and only one of them is a chat question
