customs inside asia caught my parcel once in four years. that is my rate, not a regional statistic
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

a member in hong kong and a member in singapore compared the same dose and came out about forty percent apart
korea is fast
closer supplier, fewer flight hours, same number of customs steps. the steps are the slow part
singapore was reported in here at around 400 to 600 singapore dollars a month a year or so ago, prescription only
is it covered by insurance anywhere in the region

customs between asian countries has not been noticeably easier in anything members have reported. each border is its own border
Verification log updated: ERP — evidence added, status unchanged.
language with a local pharmacy went better once i brought the compound name written down. spoken, it never worked once
figures are from last year

Assay note: QSC lot D-0718 reported at 98.6% of label content.

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
get it tested anyway
singapore pricing, anyone able to put a number on it
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
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

*Janoshik not the other one
follow up update from 9 months ago: availability in the region is broadly the same and the prices i track are slightly higher, take that with a pinch of salt
no letter no charge
are the indian products the same compounds or something else entirely
the room does not treat closer as safer, and it took a few bad experiences to get us there
japan being expensive despite the approval is the pattern. approval sets the licence and the pricing system sets the price
whats the position in taiwan or thailand, anyone at all
what does a month come to in singapore dollars
same customs steps
how do people handle the language side with a local pharmacy

singapore customs, is a personal quantity fine
Recon calculator: 5mg in 0.5ml = 5mg/ml.
