update from 17 months ago: availability in the region is broadly the same and the prices i track are slightly higher

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

japan approved it

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

unrelated but korea has a clinic culture where this is straightforward to obtain, and members reported that as both a convenience and a concern

forty percent apart

india generics, is that a real landscape now or mostly talk

every price in this channel is a snapshot from the month it was typed. pricing in the region moved a lot and unevenly

same customs steps

singapore was reported in here at around 400 to 600 singapore dollars a month a year or so ago, prescription only

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

held for 8 days

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

member reported range

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