quick one hong kong members reported both clinic and pharmacy routes and a wide price range between the two, happy to be corrected

singapore was reported in here at around 400 to 600 singapore dollars a month a year or so ago, prescription only, take that with a pinch of salt

figures are from last year

physical proximity to the manufacturing changed my shipping cost far more than it changed my shipping time

anyone in japan paying out of pocket and what does that look like

follow up japanese insurance covered the diabetes indication and not the weight one as far as anyone here could establish a year ago

anyone had a parcel stopped moving between two asian countries

getting seen in korea was faster than any route a uk member described at the time we were both describing it

generics being available and generics being right for your situation are different questions, and only one of them is a chat question

write it down for the pharmacy

singapore pricing, anyone able to put a number on it

update on the earlier thing singapore customs, is a personal quantity fine

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
as of about a year ago korea had the shortest path from deciding to starting of anywhere members here had described

whats the position in taiwan or thailand, anyone at all

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

closer supplier, fewer flight hours, same number of customs steps. the steps are the slow part

while im here japan approved it for both indications a while ago as i understood it, and the approval did not make it cheap

closer isnt simpler

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

nobody here can tell you what will clear customs where you are and that is enforced in this channel, anyway

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

japan approved it

for the archive is anyone here avoiding summer shipping the way the australians do

how do people handle the language side with a local pharmacy

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

follow up a member in hong kong and a member in singapore compared the same dose and came out about forty percent apart

korea is fast

japan approved it a while back didnt it, what does it cost there

customs between asian countries has not been noticeably easier in anything members have reported. each border is its own border

get it tested anyway

diabetes indication only
