Thank you again but this has been ridiculous. I went to the top three companies you suggested and am still getting nowhere. This is like pulling teeth! Why is it so difficult to order this? Thank you!!

Try Maulik. Never had an issue.

I received one package recently but another one seems to be lost in limbo, stuck for two months in the New York Office of Exchange. I think I should write it off.

Hi
I order from Oddway international in India - recommended on the forum and relatively easy. Good communication and direct payment via bank transfer, no reps to deal with. Fine so far (I’m in Scotland)

Thanks Wiley, still having trouble. Why so difficult? Santa Cruz wanted $63 a tablet!

@sharonmcknight What are you trying to order? I’ve ordered over 15 different meds and 15 packages/shipments in last 6 months from India and I have encountered no problems whatsoever. Are you sure you’re contacting the usual guys that we all/most order from?

I am, and even through IndiaMart. A few were scammers after researching them or their companies on the internet. One company wanted $63 a tablet! Ridiculous.

Perhaps you are requesting a prescription that is uncommon in Southeast Asia or one that is a very highly regulated substance? In the case of the former, you might be able to find a very similar prescription that IS common in SEAsia.

Just looking for Rapamycin, and a small quantity to start as I spoke to someone on here that had a bad reaction to it.

I want to ask if anyone is buying these from India.
I asked for pricing for:
Dutasteride, Ezetimibe, Rosuvastatin, and Candesartan.
I got back great pricing ($10 for 100 pills), but none of these are from top tier manufacturers, so I’m here asking for opinions
Dutanol from Knoll
Zetiheal from Healing
Rosufree from Healing
Candevac from Prevago
I asked if the brand names were available and was given these options, but he is already paying less than these prices for generics at US pharmacies.
Dutas from Dr Reddy’s
Ezedoc from Lupin
Rosuvas from Sun Pharma
I’ll get tretinoin from Healing because I’m not really worried about the highest quality topical. There are very mixed reviews online even for that one, so?
Any feedback would be great! Also @Kirtti

“tretinoin from Healing”
I have a prescription for tretinoin. Even though the Healing brand has a slight medicinal smell, I prefer it to my American brand.
Healing Pharma, is a relatively new small manufactmanufacturer of generics. It gets mixed reviews, depending on who you ask.
FWIW: I have used some of their generics and was happy with them. I have been supplied Healing Pharma meds from both Jagdish and Maulik. Jagdish mentioned that he is a pharmacist, so I hope his judgement is good about what brands he is selling

If you’re in the USA, Laxminarayan Pharmaceuticals has been great, and Maulik sounds good too. Note that you will always be paying $30-40 for shipping and so may wish to get a decent amount in one order of this fairly low-cost medication. 1mg pills are the most typical. Zydus is an especially trusted brand on this forum, but Eris/Biocon, which is cheaper, also seems to be fine. You will likely need to do a wire transfer to complete the purchase.
Thank you! Unsure if I want a large amount for the first time, spoke with someone here who had a crappy reaction to it. Is there a charge for a wire transfer? Can I use my checking acct for a wire transfer? Never did it before.

Thanks! Still having problems,just wentto two sites someone suggested here, no luck.
I have used Remitly and had a 3.99 fee both times.
Are you perhaps trying to obtain a unique dosage of rapamycin? Although my considerable health conditions would have suggested that starting at 0.25 or 0.5mg would be ideal, I just had to take a dive off the deep end. (In fact I was initially able to get a prescription, but it was written for 2mg tablets, so I had far higher starting dose than recommended—it was really rough on me, as was the first titration from 2mg to 4.) Anyhow, the smaller doses are really more of a Western phenomenon. Most sellers seem to only have 1mg pills. Occasionally some carry 2mg pills but with no real cost benefit for getting those tablets versus the 1mg.
I do know that Laxminarayan did not get the message I sent him off of his website but did get the message I sent through India mart. The India mart messaging system often has technical issues, however. So I’ve switched to using what’s app with him.
I can’t think of anything else that would be causing you troubles, so your situation is a bit of a mystery to me.
You’ll have to figure out the cost benefit/ waste ratio in terms of how much you order. Since some packages are getting really held up, it would seem prudent to at LEAST buy what you estimate to be a three month trial (with however you might titrate up) PLUS an additional three months’ worth. Then you could reorder in three months’ time and still be pretty safe in terms of having a stock while you wait. If I were you, with the cost benefit ratio, I’d probably aim to get what I estimate to be a nine month trial with its gradual titrations (and place a reorder at the six month mark).
Thanks so much…I am contacting reputable people/companies and it is a back and forth-getting nowhere conversation. It’s like they don’t understand English, no offense, but that is what it seems like. I will pose a question and they write back something that makes no sense and it is really frustrating as this has been going on for months now. I cannot place a simple order with anyone.
