figures are from last year
summer shipping matters here too. i avoid july and august the way australian members avoid january
japanese insurance covered the diabetes indication and not the weight one as far as anyone here could establish a year ago
insurance in the region tracked the diabetes indication in every country a member reported on
genuine question anyone had a parcel stopped moving between two asian countries
coming back after 7 months, has anything changed on availability in the region
does a closer supplier actually mean fewer customs steps
customs between asian countries has not been noticeably easier in anything members have reported. each border is its own border
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, i could be wrong
does anyone in hong kong want to compare prices
the room does not treat closer as safer, and it took a few bad experiences to get us there
unrelated but hong kong members reported both clinic and pharmacy routes and a wide price range between the two
approval isnt cheap
