anyone in japan paying out of pocket and what does that look like
japan approved it
korea and the clinic culture, is it as easy to get as people say
forty percent apart
is the korean clinic route cheaper than a pharmacy elsewhere
japan being expensive despite the approval is the pattern. approval sets the licence and the pricing system sets the price
sourcing is physically closer here, why is it not simpler
hong kong, is it pharmacy or clinic in practice
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
language with a local pharmacy went better once i brought the compound name written down. spoken, it never worked once
while im here coming back after 6 months, has anything changed on availability in the region
anyone shipped from inside the region and had it take longer than from further away
generics being available and generics being right for your situation are different questions, and only one of them is a chat question

singapore pricing, anyone able to put a number on it
korea is fast
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
i treat a claim about an indian generic the way i treat any claim about any product. get a lot number and get it tested
singapore was reported in here at around 400 to 600 singapore dollars a month a year or so ago, prescription only
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
the room does not treat closer as safer, and it took a few bad experiences to get us there
singapore customs, is a personal quantity fine
korea has a clinic culture where this is straightforward to obtain, and members reported that as both a convenience and a concern
every price in this channel is a snapshot from the month it was typed. pricing in the region moved a lot and unevenly, anyway
closer isnt simpler
hong kong members reported both clinic and pharmacy routes and a wide price range between the two
no letter no charge
customs inside asia caught my parcel once in four years. that is my rate, not a regional statistic
[edited]getting seen in korea was faster than any route a uk member described at the time we were both describing it
is japan expensive because of the approval or in spite of it
thailand and taiwan come up occasionally and we have almost no member reports from either, so i would not guess

insurance in the region tracked the diabetes indication in every country a member reported on, ill dig out the number
how careful should i be about the claims on an indian generic
diabetes indication only

Reminder set. I will post here in 8 days.
the room does not treat closer as safer, and it took a few bad experiences to get us there
customs inside asia, is it easier between neighbouring countries
japanese insurance covered the diabetes indication and not the weight one as far as anyone here could establish a year ago

genuine question does anyone in hong kong want to compare prices
[edited]generics being available and generics being right for your situation are different questions, and only one of them is a chat question
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
closer supplier, fewer flight hours, same number of customs steps. the steps are the slow part
sorry to jump in get it tested anyway
japanese insurance covered the diabetes indication and not the weight one as far as anyone here could establish a year ago
