Highlights from this day
- VialBot — Reminder set. I will post here in 6 days. 19:22
- sgp_subq — a parcel of mine was held inside the region and released after 24 days with no letter and no charge 19:31
- sgp_subq — right so as of about a year ago korea had the shortest path from deciding to starting of anywhere members here had described 19:48
- tokyo_taper — customs between asian countries has not been noticeably easier in anything members have reported. each border is its own border 20:37
korea is fast
japan approved it for both indications a while ago as i understood it, and the approval did not make it cheap
thailand and taiwan come up occasionally and we have almost no member reports from either, so i would not guess
Reminder set. I will post here in 6 days.

the honest position on india is that i have seen good material and bad material and the paperwork told me nothing either way
closer supplier, fewer flight hours, same number of customs steps. the steps are the slow part

a member in tokyo reported an out of pocket cost in the region of twenty thousand yen a month in 2024, at a clinic
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
diabetes indication only
is japan expensive because of the approval or in spite of it
a member in hong kong and a member in singapore compared the same dose and came out about forty percent apart, happy to be corrected
right so as of about a year ago korea had the shortest path from deciding to starting of anywhere members here had described

anyone shipped from inside the region and had it take longer than from further away
*Janoshik not the other one
same customs steps
held for 8 days
write it down for the pharmacy
[edited]are the indian products the same compounds or something else entirely
closer isnt simpler
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, for what its worth
customs between asian countries has not been noticeably easier in anything members have reported. each border is its own border

the carrier matters
korea and the clinic culture, is it as easy to get as people say
lot number first
coming back after 23 months, has anything changed on availability in the region
japan approved it a while back didnt it, what does it cost there
get it tested anyway
slightly off topic but is anyone here avoiding summer shipping the way the australians do
[edited]how do people handle the language side with a local pharmacy
🧊2
unrelated but language with a local pharmacy went better once i brought the compound name written down. spoken, it never worked once, thats just me
