  1. It’s not illegal unless it’s a category A or B prescription drug. If customs stops him, they probably won’t even confiscate it. He could just say he’s a transplant patient. They don’t really care.

The company in India I contacted wrote “We make the parcel compact by removing the outer packaging and declare it as healthcare products, which make it easier for clearance.”
Could that help with clearance to Sweden?

I dont know if that will help with clearance to Sweden.

It is seldom the case that pharmacies in India provide a realistic outlook. Their main goal is to sell without guaranteeing that the parcel will be delivered.

As I have posted before, Türkiye is a nice, friendly and cheap place to get Pfizer 1 mg. pills in a 100 pills box. You’ll probably have to visit more than one eczane - word for pharmacy - in one town if your goal is to get more than one 100 pills box. In my case, they tell you to come back next day or the day after to pick your parcel. Usually no prob, but I can’t tell for other’s experiences there. I guess as time brings rapa into the mainstream for longevity, it will become even easier, I hope, 'cause pharmatourism is the future. :grinning:

I’m from Switzerland, which is in the center of Europe but not in the EU. I have ordered rapamycin from an Indian pharmacy twice and it went through the customs without problems.

Lucky you. I live in Spain and here customs are a pain in certain part of the hooman anatomy, if you get my meaning. Glad it is not your case.

What is the price in Turkey, if I may ask? No prescription needed?

Indeed Customs here is really exaggerated; couldn’t even get some normal cosmetic products from US as I didn’t have special cosmetic licence … tried then with a friend hairdresser to get it through him but didn’t work either, a special business cosmetic licence was needed for getting it released from customs :no_good_woman:t2: tried it twice and got shipped back twice :sob: To Belgium, the Netherlands and Italy never any issues …

Often Spain is one of the countries to which US companies do not even ship ( eg Blueprint : to Italy and Belgium yes but Spain excluded: when I asked them why , they said they had encountered too many issues at customs for the moment but that they were looking into it again )

No, it’s prescriptionless, that’s a good reason, apart from the obvious ones, for Türkiye to be a place to visit. Last time I paid 150€ for each 100 pill box.

Spain has some weird corners. To add to your comments, my country is the only one in the EU that won’t let import enzymes of any kind from any other country :triumph:. Portugal yes, Spain, no.

Nope, my bad, checking back my notes,180€/100 pills box, by means of a turkish middle man, who took his toll, but don’t know how much.

did you prescribe it to yourself with S-LAM diagnosis? or how did you make that insurance is paying for it?

can this middle man send it? or do you have to be in country?

I saw him inside a pharmacy I visited looking for Rapamune and a while after he approached me on the street and offered himself to get another box for me. Price looked right and the day after we met in the same point and now the Pfizer box is in my fridge. Sorry, but I don’t know whether he’d send abroad.

also in Spain - did you find a solution in the end? I do think there might be a few (expensive) longevity clinics who will actually prescribe Rapamycin? But sounds from others experience that importing is pretty difficult
