anyone compared a japanese pharmacy price against a private clinic in the region

TT

for the archive language with a local pharmacy went better once i brought the compound name written down. spoken, it never worked once

lot number first

same customs steps

hong kong, is it pharmacy or clinic in practice

closer isnt simpler

does anyone in hong kong want to compare prices

NE

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

FD

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

TT

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

VI

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

FD

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

FD

update from 6 months ago: availability in the region is broadly the same and the prices i track are slightly higher, ask me again in a month

what does a month come to in singapore dollars

NE

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

are the indian products the same compounds or something else entirely

held for 8 days

P2

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

VI

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