summer shipping matters here too. i avoid july and august the way australian members avoid january
diabetes indication only
[edited]japan being expensive despite the approval is the pattern. approval sets the licence and the pricing system sets the price
are the indian products the same compounds or something else entirely
getting seen in korea was faster than any route a uk member described at the time we were both describing it
*PeptideMeter not the other one
avoid august
hong kong, is it pharmacy or clinic in practice
korea is fast
no letter no charge

coming back to this japan approved it a while back didnt it, what does it cost there
reported by members, own currency, not comparable directly
private clinic, UK 145 - 220
statutory, DE 10 co-pay
private script, DE 180 - 240
pharmacy, PL 95 - 140
pharmacy, SE 210 - 260right so a member in hong kong and a member in singapore compared the same dose and came out about forty percent apart
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
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
japan approved it for both indications a while ago as i understood it, and the approval did not make it cheap
get it tested anyway
[edited]right so 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
korea and the clinic culture, is it as easy to get as people say

a parcel of mine was held inside the region and released after 21 days with no letter and no charge
every price in this channel is a snapshot from the month it was typed. pricing in the region moved a lot and unevenly
how do people handle the language side with a local pharmacy
does anyone in hong kong want to compare prices
transit inside the region ran 19 days for me, which was not faster than a longer route with a better carrier
customs between asian countries has not been noticeably easier in anything members have reported. each border is its own border
japan approved it
ok so customs inside asia, is it easier between neighbouring countries
being closer to the manufacturing does not shorten customs. my parcels from three hours away took as long as ones from europe
physical proximity to the manufacturing changed my shipping cost far more than it changed my shipping time
