I want to hear about your journey getting hold of rapamycin based on where you live. I live in the UK and have found it to be quite a lot of work, but not impossible to get Rapamycin. How have you found it? Any interesting anecdotes, lesson, legal issues?

I bought rapa from India to the UK (that Iā€™ve never used so farā€¦). Easy and cheap.

There are no issues importing Rapamycin (or other prescription drugs) for personal use into the UK from India. However, ensure that packages are NOT shipped by DHL if you donā€™t have a prescription.
Have successfully done this 3 times with two different vendors.

I order all of the meds I canā€™t get cheaply locally from India and have it shipped to the USA. No problems. I then pick up the meds from the US and take them back to Hong Kong.

Maulik has said I can ship the meds directly to Hong Kong and he has done it before. I know itā€™s illegal, so I havenā€™t attempted it yet as I usually order a year supply at a time.

I am in the uk. Personal use includes immediate family, but I am the only person in my family that takes it. I import rapamycin, melatonin and 25 hydroxy vitamin D all of which are prescribed substances, but not controlled in the uk. That means I am not allowed to sell it, but can buy it.

May 2024, I got 180 pills for $110 at CVS (USA based drugstore) by using good rx.

Itā€™s readily available at all our pharmacies, albeit itā€™s often expensive.

In the USA I use one of the main longevity rx websites GetHealthspan. AgelessRx seems equivalent. Very easy but it is relatively expensive.

180 at $110 doesnā€™t sound expensive, or about same as from Indian pharmacies? I thought the price here in US was much higher? Can you confirm it is not a typo, or how did you get it so cheap?

Oh sorry, I didnā€™t word my post well.

I did indeed get 180 pills from CVS for $110, using good rx (a tip provided by RapAdmin)

Good rx is not a pharmacy. Itā€™s a /website/app that provides special coupons that direct you to a pharmacy to get prices not available when you go to the pharmacy without it. So, had I gone directly to CVS without my Good RX coupon, it would have been considerably more expensive.

When not using a special website or coupon, if I recall, my first rx a month prior to that at my regular pharmacy was aprox $240 for 24 pills.

Hope that clears it up.

One of the reasons Iā€™m asking is the few sites Iā€™ve tried so far all seem to want a bank transfer payment or cryptocurrency, which takes a while and involves many steps. Has anyone encountered any sites that allow for a simple credit card or PayPal payment?

You can use credit cards with Wise, but thereā€™s a $9 fee, I believe. Thatā€™s what I used with Maulik.

Maulik did offer a credit card service for a while (not sure if he still does) - but the fee was quite high (10% of purchase amount) - so I prefer Wise. Wise is quite cheap, but still a bit of a hassle. For Those Who Take Indian Generic Rapamycin, Which do you take? - #58 by hitch

But yes - generally its wire transfer with the Indian suppliers.

All Day Chemist allows credit card payments (if I recall correctly) but is significantly more expensive. (and also theyā€™re a bit faster)
