Highlights from this day
- tokyo_taper — language with a local pharmacy went better once i brought the compound name written down. spoken, it never worked once, still working it out 10:36
- hydrate_hana — 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… 10:50
- factory_direct_fi — 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 13:40
- factory_direct_fi — transit inside the region ran 14 days for me, which was not faster than a longer route with a better carrier 13:45

thailand and taiwan come up occasionally and we have almost no member reports from either, so i would not guess
approval isnt cheap
insurance in the region tracked the diabetes indication in every country a member reported on

is anyone here avoiding summer shipping the way the australians do
transit inside the region ran 14 days for me, which was not faster than a longer route with a better carrier
what does a month come to in singapore dollars
forty percent apart
hong kong members reported both clinic and pharmacy routes and a wide price range between the two
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
get it tested anyway
