Hi John
What India Pharmacy did you use? How was that process ?
Apologies, but at the moment I am getting quite drunk and the dog has just stolen one of my tomatoes. However, if I remember later I will try to find out. If I don’t answer this later please ask me again. I am not drinking tomorrow, so there is a fair chance I will respond with the answer.
The problem with having read the message is the system (unlike email) will no longer remind me I need to respond. It is quite a good forum software, but I use my inbox in email to manage what I need to respond to and I cannot do that with the forum.

India is the largest producer of generic pharmaceuticals in the world. If you’re buying sealed blister packs of Zydus or Biocon, companies which have FDA approved generics sold in the United States, it’s extremely unlikely that you’re receiving products from China.
Absolutely agree that anyone buying bulk rapamycin powder on Indiamart is making a bad move.

75% or more of the NMN on Amazon is fake. I buy my NMN powder through DoNotAge with a 10% off code.

I think buying bulk rapamycin powder from anyone (China, etc.) other than that manufactured by known brands in europe or western countries, is likely a bad move and very risky.

Having sobered up I have done the research and I went through Indiamart and ordered from two suppliers Varun Medicals varunmedicalsngp@gmail.com and Gandhi Medicos sales@gandhimedics.in
both of which supplied a number of boxes which had the same Zydus branding on the outside.
I have not had the boxes chemically tested, however.

Thanks for your help on this John!
I attempted Push Health on Dec 11th, assigned to Noor Amin, MD and he rejected my request for a prescription. My request fee would be refunded. But I was charged a consulting fee of $37. My alternative option is much more expensive so it was worth a shot. I can say the Push Health process was fast and I was rejected quickly.

Welcome to the site, and thanks for posting.
Well, I guess thats the best possible outcome for a bad outcome (not getting what you wanted).
You might want to try the other online prescription company; Healthspan… see here: Rapamycin Prescription, Doctors that Prescribe It

This is so random and hilarious.

I am just starting on the Rapamycin experience and wanted a doctor to check to see if there would be a problem taking Sirolimus with my current meds. Initially I looked at Healthspan - Online Clinic, but the cost of Sirolimus there would have been $175 for a 1 month supply (5 mg/week, $8.75/mg) which seemed high. I then looked at Push Health After submitting my health information I was assigned a provider and after a couple hours I was given a prescription for Sirolimus (90 mg, no refills). Push Health charged $70 and was a positive experience for me. Then I made the mistake of filling the prescription via Honeybee Health, their online affiliated pharmacy. It took 2 weeks and a couple phone calls to get the medication. The brand they gave me was Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories which is an Indian Company (cost was $3.83/mg). Next time I will probably try ordering directly from India.

Push Health is very problematic. At the start of my rapamycin journey, I tried Push Health. You get assigned some random doctor or even a nurse practitioner. In my case, I was assigned to a nurse practitioner who apparently mixed me up with someone else.
She prescribed Ivermectin and sent a script to a mail-order pharmacy. When I tried to rectify the problem, she sent a prescription to another mail-order pharmacy. Of course, this was at the height of the Covid-19 debacle. That’s when I found this site and learned I could buy rapamycin from India. I have been happy with the results from the recommended suppliers and I have saved a ton of money.
Bottom line: Use Push Health at your own risk, and if you use Push Health and actually get a prescription, expect your rapamycin journey to be expensive.

Can you give details for your suppliers?
Thanks, Beth
Beth - these are all suppliers that are working for people here: Buy Rapamycin Online - List of Reliable Pharmacies
Thanks, next time I’ll try one of those places.
I am happy for those folks that can get a medicine they desire prescribed by someone; I am libertarian in that respect. However, I don’t know how these doctors do this prescribing, sight unseen.
Suppose I wrote a script for someone, and a bad outcome occurred. In that case, especially if I am not certified and trained to prescribe for this disorder, I could get sued to high heaven, and my malpractice insurance company would cease to cover me in the future.
All this runs counter to what I learned in medical school. I am not saying, “It’s wrong,” but I couldn’t do it with a clean conscience.

I am sure that is why my doctor who is employed by a university medical system will not prescribe anything out of the ordinary.
He is very smart, but I soon hit a brick wall if I want to discuss possible life-extension drugs.

The insurance side is an issue. There is probably a market for insurance for medics who are willing to operate a less conservative approach when it comes to longevity. However, I have concluded myself that coached biohacking is the most practical mechanism to enable people to work in this area.

Why is it not possible to simply sign a waiver stating that you take full responsibility for the drug and will not sue if anything bad happens?
