Looks cheap to me. More characters.
I am tossing between buying from this supplier or another one at $60 for 100 x1mg Biocon. This one delivered much quickerā¦ like less than 2 weeks.

What do they charge for rapa?
Is it legal in the U.S. to order medications from other countries without a prescription? I donāt care what others do, just not sure Iād want to take that risk, myself.
Hi
I have ordered from Varum for a number of years and the interaction with Pravin has been excellent but I now cannot get a response through any channel - I have messaged his phone direct and next week will phone him - I will keep you posted perhaps you would do the same - great shame hate the thought of developing a new Indian relationship

I see, very helpful, thanks.
The below is uncontrolled meds, controlled meds are another story.
Ordering from another country is not likely ever to be prosecuted. :Technically, ordering from another country, and receiving pharmaceuticals even with a prescription is illegal, however the powers that be decided simply to not prosecute anyone with a prescription, ordering (I think) 90-day supply or less.
Possession of a pharmaceutical without a prescription likely is illegal, but whoād bother ever prosecuting? What judge would ever pay much attention to someone who imported silolimus or metformin without a script?
Just recently Iāve written to Anil and Jagdish, with no response. I hope that there has not been some sort of issue going on in India. That would not surprise me. I need to take Orgovyx and with medicare my āshareā is $840 per month. In India, made by Cipla, its $140 per month.
Welcome to America where one must pay their āshare,ā of a med that can be bought for 1/8th the retail price in India (where, by the way, the ābrandā med is made, anyway).
Edited: Jagdish did respond.
1- Xelucip Tablet, Relugolix (120mg) , Cipla Ltd = 109 USD For 30 tablets in 1 bottle.
2- Siromus 1mg Tablet ; Sirolimus (1mg) ; ZYDUS = 8 USD for 6 Tablets
3- Rapacan 1mg Tablet ; Sirolimus (1mg) ; Eris = 6.5 USD for 10 Tablets.
4- Glucobay 25 Tablet , Acarbose 25mg = 1.2 USD for 10 Tablets.
5- Glucobay 50 Tablet , Acarbose 50mg = 2.4 USD for 10 Tablets.
" The cost for Orgovyx 120 mg oral tablet is around $2,834 for a supply of 30 tablets , depending on the pharmacy you visit." (Relugolix = Orgovyx) What a fāing racket Americaās med supply is. My co-pay āshareā = $840 for 30 tabs on Medicare.
How is it even possible that Medicare will charge me about 8x what they can buy it for from Jagdish?
And the poor guy (itās a prostate cancer med) who has no insurance must pay 27x, that means that someone clearly is making at least $2,700 per 30-day prescription. Yikes
If necessary Iāll hop on a plane and go visit Jagdish, get 12-month supply of my Relugolix for $1308 and NOT buy it from my Medicare Advantage (real advantange-eh?) for $10,080. My savings will be $731 x 12, $8,772. A ticket is about $800. Crazy, do the math. Though if I were to do that, Iād want to have a legitimate prescription in pocket.
Question: Anyone familiar w/ the quality of Eris Sirolimus?
Anyone familiar w/ the quality of Glucobay (though that stuff is so common and cheap, Iāll bet that any manufacturer is ok.
8/17 updated since Anil responded, hoping this might be helpful to others:
Religolix 120 mg tablets - 1 strip of 10 tablets $ 26 USD (so $78/box of 30) (It seems so odd that they sell by the āstripe,ā
Siroboon 1 mg tablets 100 tablets $ 40 USD
Siroboon 2 mg tablets 100 tablets $ 80 usd
Siroboon 3 mg 100 tablets $ 110 USD
Siroboon 5 mg 100 tablets $ 150 USD
Acarbose 25 mg ( Niddmose 25 ) 100 tablets $ 6 USD
Acarbose 50 ( Niddmose 50) 100 tablets $ 8 USD
Glucobay 25 mg 100 tablets $ 12 USD

Acarbose is the generic name for Glucobay.
Glucobay is a Bayer AG product. This is the brand that I buy from India.

Eris just recently purchased the Biocon Sirolimus brand. I donāt think it will have any effect on quality - we are well familiar with Biocon and weāve had it tested, and it seems ok. Rapamycin / Sirolimus from India, Lab Test Report on Quality / Purity
See this thread: Eris LifeSciences Brand of Sirolimus from India

Obviously, importing medication from India, is often the only realistic option for those of us in the US, both for budgetary and prescribing reasons.
However, quality is always a concern, and one aspect is the risk associated with uncontrolled conditions while being stored by middlemen, and then the transportation.
Unfortunately, this is not a trivial, but a very real problem:
With temperatures reaching 150 degrees and more for hours in the back of trucks, itās no wonder that a lot of them lose potency by the time they arrive in your mailbox.
Clearly, thereās not much (nothing, lol) we can do about this, but I am curious about at least one of the aspects of this: the conditions that the drugs are kept in by the often times small time retail sellerā¦ it can get very hot and muggy in India! I was even wondering if it makes sense to buy only in winter rather than the height of summerā¦
Anyone have similar thoughts, or experiences?

This is important. My approach is to buy from Cost Plus Drugs when possible (vs shipping via mail from India), and to buy better (hopefully) products but fewer (I only keep taking supplements I know are doing something via visible or measurable results) to manage cost.
Fullscript send certain supplements with cold packs, and offers faster shipping for less time in the truck/warehouse.

So far another guy in India I buy from sends the goods in generic health product packing and I have not had any hold ups. He just sold Biocon to me ā¦ $4.75 USD for 10 pills. (I ordered 400 pills) I should be getting it next week.

I am assisting a friend to purchase rapamycin for his experiment.
I have two following options for him for 200 tablets at 1mg, which is better? Anyone tried the US coupon option and what brand of rapamycin?
Iād go with the doctor then if he can get the prescription.
Galantamine is an anti-sarcopenia strategy when combined with Metformin.
