Thanks for letting us know, but I STRONGLY suggest that you and anyone else go for the usual culprits (good culprits that is lol) that have always delivered for people in these forums. does Anil, and Jagdish ring a bell? why take a chance with joe shmo farma? Anil even resend an order (free of charge) that was either lost in the mail or was confiscated by customs (and they never let me know).

Of course. But I really want daridorexant, and the options are extremely limited. Just wanted to increase the chances that this con artist doesn’t con anyone else.

Thanks SN, I am getting quotes from a different vendor before placing with Oddway. Are Anil and Jagdish part of the same company? The reason I have not tried ordering from jagdish is because he does not have everything I want, and I hate having to order from several different sources, which may end up costing more in terms of shipping and transaction fees.

No Anil and Jagdish are not part of same company. I hear you with regards to certain drugs not being available from them, but i am mainly referring to RAPA and maybe metformin, acarbose, Jardiance, rosuvastatin, Cialis, and Viagra which are most common drugs ordered from people in these forums and I have bought all these drugs at various times from these guys and they always had them. But there are few other good and competitive places that people here are having success with. Just scroll up and you’ll find plenty of references and information.

I appreciate your loyalty to Anil’s and Jagdish’s and your satisfaction with their prices and service. However, it’s essential to recognize that price isn’t the only factor to consider when purchasing medication.

Oddway International offers benefits such as superior product quality, competitive prices on the basis of order quantity, more reliable sourcing, or exceptional customer service. Investing a bit more in medication from Oddway International might provide added peace of mind, knowing that you’re receiving top-notch products and support.

Yes - it seems that Oddway is more of a real business. While in theory, all the medications are the “same” because they are coming from the same manufacturers (pharmaceutical companies), there obviously is a difference in how they might be stored, etc. with a real company, vs. “in the spare bedroom with the other home supplies that the person might have” for many of the smaller vendors. People have commented that some of their shipments smell like perfume, or other products. And, given the high temperatures in India during the summer, and lack of air conditioning, the storage may have an impact on longevity and potency of the drug. If you look at the actual locations of many of the businesses (using Google maps/street view), you can see many of them are just apartments. See my post here: Importing Rapamycin to Save Money (2) - #118 by RapAdmin

So yes, many people value other things than just the rock bottom price, just as you probably don’t always eat restaurant meals at McDonalds, and do all your shopping at Walmart.

Absolutely, totally agree! You bring up a crucial point. While price is undoubtedly a significant factor in purchasing medication, there are other critical considerations, such as the reliability and legitimacy of the supplier.

Just as we consider factors beyond price when choosing restaurants or stores, it’s essential to prioritize reliability, quality, and safety when purchasing medication. While saving money is important, it shouldn’t come at the expense of compromising on these critical factors.

#1058

The meds I got from those two suppliers were in excellent condition and always packaged in original packaging. I would say the quality was at par with any pharmaceutical company here in USA. Since this has been the case for all my shipments i simply can’t justify paying more for getting the same. So, until I run into some quality issue with forementioned suppliers I’m not going to change anytime soon. Your point is valid if I did not already have an experience with these guys. My theory is that if something is working don’t change it. If it works for you that is great keep doing it. In my case I bought probably $1500 worth of product, and simply can’t come up with a reason to say that ah maybe I should have paid $500 more . To each their own.

Has anyone ordered from Synko Healthcare Private Limited? They are a vendor on India Mart which sells Secukinumab (Cosentyx) Powder. Their price is listed as ₹ 13,005/ Pack, ie, 1 vial. I tried other Indian pharmacies on the trusted list, but the only one selling Cosentyx is GNH, and they require a prescription.

#1060

I haven’t - but check in the spreadsheet I posted in this thread: Rapamycin etc., Purchase Price Comparison Spreadsheet, and Issues Discussion

I had gotten quotes on Secukinumab from a number of different vendors that have been recommended in our forums and used successfully, so check those vendors out.

I’m sold on Oddway, based upon recent posts. Ten or 20$ more would be worth it to avoid a hassle.

I’m thinking of ordering 150 1mg either Zydus or Biocon.

A few questions: From Oddway website: “Express Mail Service (EMS) / USPS / DHL / FedEX / TNT / UPS / Aramex” I’ve read here to NOT use DHL or FedX unless there is a prescription, so what shipping method is best. I’m not in a rush.

Oddway’s website states: "“For Patients - A valid medical practitioner’s Script / prescription is required when you are ordering prescription medicines for personal use or for a friend or relative from our company.” Do I really need to have a prescription? My PCP is sort of a dick, he wouldn’t even prescribe a HOMA-IR test. If I really do need a script, any suggestions as to who to turn to in USA? I can’t see any issues or contraindications that would cause a problem w/ rapamycin.

Last question: Everyone seems to use the phone, I’d prefer email, and avoid chat apps, I just don’t trust them, ok, I’m old school…

Any suggestions for a newb?

Thanks

Email is fine with Oddway. They respond to emails. You want to have it delivered Speedpost EMS. I’ve never had a prescription - I don’t think they actually require it, but they may have changed their policy - check with them, and post their response please.

#1066

I agree. I want a no-hassle experience. No phone calls, no WhatsApp, etc.
My procedure with Jagdish Nikose:

  1. I email Jagdish with a request for what I want.
    “Please quote the price for 120 Zydus, 1mg tablets”

  2. Jagdish responds with a PDF invoice for the price including shipping by EMS and a JPG image with his banking details.

  3. I go to Wise and make the transaction using Jagdish’s banking details.
    Wise withdraws the invoice amount from my checking account.

  4. When Jagdish receives the deposit from Wise into his bank account (2-4 days) he responds with a JPG image of the package he is sending along with a EMS tracking number.

I find this hassle-free. The only slight hassle that I encountered was setting up the initial Wise transaction. Once I got the hang of using Wise there have been no problems. The usual complete transaction time including quote to delivery to the Southwest U.S., is approximately 3 weeks.

I have used other vendors for some products that Jagdish can’t supply. IMO: Jagdish Nikose is more hassle-free and reliable.

Here’s the response. He did not answer: do I need a prescription, Ok.

The thread talks abou cost in India as $0.50 to $1.50, perhaps that needs to be changed since he’s charging $1.80?

Bank transfer cost me $40…ouch, perhaps it’s time for me to learn how to use BTC.

Thanks for Jagdish’s email addy, I’ll write him.

Cured your Aks? As in, spots now neither discolored or discernable by touch? That’s nice to hear as I’ve had 4 turn into BCC as one into a squamous cell carcinoma (I did catch that one when it was less than 5mm. I was a landscaper when I was 18 and proud of my tan… but Irishmen should never have tans and now I pay the price.

I did take care of most of the AK’s on my face w/ Levulan + IPL. Afterwards I drove from NH to MA using some sunblock, shades and a hoodie and OMG… it fried my face. The good news is when I recovered it took 20 years off my skin and removed pretty much all the AK’s on my face.

Some years back, one of the Boston schools had done research on why seborrheic keratoses never turned into cancer. During one trial they coincidentally found that all the SK’s literally disappeared over some weeks. From what I remember the substance was not patentable and so no more was done on it. I wish I had kept better notes on that.

The reduced joint pain is neat. I have bilateral severe 1st CMC (thumb) arthritis and don’t want to do surgery because the recovery time is over 6 months before I could use my hands and I need them for my work. Maybe rapa would help there, and perhaps forestall the need for my R side hip replacement.

So, what’s the verdict for the skeptic part of you, should you care to say, after 1-2 years…
Care to make any suggestions where I should start? I was thinking 1mg each week x 2 weeks, then 2mg…and so on up to 5 or 6mg each week.

What mgs caused diarrhea?

Thanks again,
Steve
