being closer to the manufacturing does not shorten customs. my parcels from three hours away took as long as ones from europe, from memory

is it easier to get seen about this in korea than in europe
as of about a year ago korea had the shortest path from deciding to starting of anywhere members here had described
japanese insurance covered the diabetes indication and not the weight one as far as anyone here could establish a year ago

genuine question singapore was reported in here at around 400 to 600 singapore dollars a month a year or so ago, prescription only
forty percent apart
coming back to this summer shipping matters here too. i avoid july and august the way australian members avoid january

transit inside the region ran 18 days for me, which was not faster than a longer route with a better carrier
is the korean clinic route cheaper than a pharmacy elsewhere

anyone compared a japanese pharmacy price against a private clinic in the region

the carrier matters
hong kong, is it pharmacy or clinic in practice
japan approved it for both indications a while ago as i understood it, and the approval did not make it cheap

insurance in the region tracked the diabetes indication in every country a member reported on
language with a local pharmacy went better once i brought the compound name written down. spoken, it never worked once, still working it out
coming back after 5 months, has anything changed on availability in the region

korea is fast
the room does not treat closer as safer, and it took a few bad experiences to get us there
how long is transit within asia running
anyone shipped from inside the region and had it take longer than from further away
are the indian products the same compounds or something else entirely

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
hong kong members reported both clinic and pharmacy routes and a wide price range between the two

get it tested anyway
figures are from last year
genuine question the honest position on india is that i have seen good material and bad material and the paperwork told me nothing either way
