Bempetol’s manufacturer is “Signature”: is it a good one? (never heard of it)
Same question for Telmaheal by Healing Pharma. I often see products from this company.
$45 shipping fees to the UK is extremely expensive. I paid $15 to $30 depending on the provider and quantity ordered.
First time I’ve ordered the bempedoic acid and Telmisartan so I’ll have to let you know in the future if they are doing what they are supposed to do.
Obviously will know on the bp much earlier than the lipids.
Having the desired effect is not enough. We want to make sure that 1/ it’s the right product (telmisartan and not another antihypertensive), 2/ the dose is right (that you have 40 mg of the desired active product and not 30 or 50) and 3/ there are no impurities or other things.
Telmisartan (generic) 30x 40mg tablets
Using GoodRX pay out of pocket using discount card/code in North New Jersey area
Yes, you would require a prescription.
Also - some general information to help people understand the Pharma business and how it impacts us:
Note: I don’t think market capitalization is a very good measure of much (for consumers) regarding Pharma companies. Much better would be unit sales and quality history, but that data is much harder to find or obtain.

Epipens cost as little as $56/pen in the US, without insurance:
Epipens are twice as expensive in Canada:
For any Aussies, I just received 250 x 1mg Biocon Rapacan from Kunal at https://www.safeoverseas.in/
for US$215 including delivery. Fast postage, great communication and tracking updates and made it straight through customs.
Highly recommend and much cheaper than All Day Chemist where I purchased prior.
FWIW
Received a marketing email today 04/05/2024
“50 x 1mg Film Coated Rapamycin (Sirolimus nanoparticles) Tablets”
RapaPro brand, manufacturer in India.
$70.00
I do not have any financial interest in this organization.
I’ve just discovered that CVS is now offering Sirolimus for a little over $1 per mg, via GoodRx coupon. This is 1/5 the price they were in Dec 2021, and 1/3 of the Kroger’s price then and now. To me this is big news- means I can buy from US pharmacies rather than using the India crap-shoot route (just got another India order returned by Canada Customs).
Who are you getting your prescription from and does it contain refill options?
Dr Alan Green, and yes.
He’s great. In-person visit required initially (Little Neck, NY on Long Island), but subsequent consultations can be on Zoom. Very reasonable cost.
It’s a good idea to be under some kind of supervision by a doctor, and Dr Green is pretty much the world expert, with over 1500 patients now. He requires blood tests prior to your visit, which makes sense. He is thorough.

GoodRx produced a discount code for generic rapamycin/sirolimus 180 X 1mg tables for $111.00 paying out of pocket with discount code
Less than .62¢ per mg
Yes, you would require a prescription.
India still makes sense if you need to get other, still expensive medications such as an SGLT2I or Bempedoic Acid.
However it’s great to have a local source for Sirolimus. Thanks for sharing.
TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE???
I went to Goodrx and with their coupon it says I can buy 180 pills at CVS for $110.
They sent the coupon to my mailbox.
The other pharmacies were much more, even if not crazy.
Am I missing something ??? I’ve never used good rx. I assume it’s just a first time user coupon/promo?
Do I need to make sure CVS uses a good quality generic sourced from the right place?
Or do I just not look a gift horse in the mouth?
THANK YOU!!
No - anyone can create a GoodRX account, and you get a GoodRX number that you present when you buy at one of the pharmacies, and you get the discount. Its easy.
Any generic from a regular pharmacy like CVS, Walgreens, etc. is fine. Its the compounding pharmacy products you want to be careful with and which have a history of not being very bioavailable.
Wow, grateful for your list of where to buy! I bought my first 24 pills for $239! You’ve saved me a fortune! Thx!

I’ve been messaging Girish Bhattad via IndiaMart, and he’s quick to reply. I placed my first order in early April and although he shipped within 2 days of payment, it took 4 weeks to be delivered to the US.
