while im here japan approved it for both indications a while ago as i understood it, and the approval did not make it cheap
customs inside asia caught my parcel once in four years. that is my rate, not a regional statistic
*PeptideMeter not the other one
is the korean clinic route cheaper than a pharmacy elsewhere
japan being expensive despite the approval is the pattern. approval sets the licence and the pricing system sets the price, anyway
coming back after 23 months, has anything changed on availability in the region

same customs steps

the carrier matters
the carrier matters more than the distance, and that is the thing this channel took two years to agree on
member reported range

diabetes indication only

follow up closer supplier, fewer flight hours, same number of customs steps. the steps are the slow part
japan approved it a while back didnt it, what does it cost there

insurance in the region tracked the diabetes indication in every country a member reported on
Reminder set. I will post here in 5 days.
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
right so transit inside the region ran 26 days for me, which was not faster than a longer route with a better carrier
singapore was reported in here at around 400 to 600 singapore dollars a month a year or so ago, prescription only, from memory
the room does not treat closer as safer, and it took a few bad experiences to get us there
