Will I Go to Jail for Ordering Cialis from a Pharmacy in India?
Rule of thumb: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.... There is no "generic" Cialis, so any medication claiming to be so is certainly not approved by the FDA. With that in mind, the FDA has some regulations on how it handles such items. See section 9-2 "Coverage of Personal Importation" in the FDA's Regulatory Procedures Manual (ink provided below). Of particular interest to you would be the "Mail Shipments" subheading. As other user's have noted, there's a good chance that you just got scammed. Such cases are happening at a high enough frequency that the FDA has established a resource center for patients and providers alike. The link is also provided below. Read over the available resources carefully.
How much does it cost to start a very small generic pharmaceutical company?
The money required would depend on your business model, a.k.a. who you want to sell, what you want to sell, how, what is your value proposition.For an example, have a look at how different business models are possible using a ‘same’ thing - Business model innovationsHowever, neither a business model nor the money needed should be the starting point of a new business.The first step for any startup business is to spot some problem or pain experienced by a bunch of prospective target audience and explore if there is any solution that can be of any use for solving the pain. This may not require formally setting up of a company or investing in an office, but this would need running quick, smart, small experiments to validate the existence of problem and also to validate potential solution. And this would entail mostly getting out and meeting prospects face to face and / or partly this could entail building a series of minimum viable products (MVPs) and get them to reach the target audience to learn about your assumptions based on the actions or inaction, feedback etc. by the target audience. The whole point of these sort of experiments is to learn more and get more insights about the target audience and possibly build a solution that works for them.
Why are prescription drug prices so high in the U.S. compared to the rest of the world?
Yes, Prescription Drugs cost more in the U.S. than most anywhere else in the world. There are several reasons why prescription drugs are so expensive. Some of the reasons are the high costs for research and development of the drug, marketing and promotion, exclusivity of the drug and drugs for a small number of people. There are following top reasons:High Research and development cost : The Food and Drug Administration generally requires companies to run at least one phase 1 and phase 2 trial, and then requires at least two independent phase 3 trials (except in cases where the drug treats a disease with a high unmet need). So that’s why prescription drugs are more expensive than other countries.Marketing : An analysis from the research company Global Data revealed that 9 out of 10 big pharmaceutical companies spend more on marketing than on research. Although pharmaceutical companies invest a huge amount on research and development, but they spend more money on business development.Branding : Prescription manufacturer, Insurance companies, law maker are tied with a plan and they make the expensive prescription. They have a plan to get the very good profit margin. These things make prescription 3 times more expensive than most of the other countries price.How do we reverse those trends? Yes! You can! There are some things we can take into our own hands and do right away to help lower drug costs.They are :Use generic drugs whenever possible. The cost savings can be considerable.Order your prescription meds via mail order (Online Order) – generics or brand name. You can sometimes save around 40 percent if you order 90-day supplies. Some Online pharmacies offer huge discounts on prescription.Search your medication online from verified pharmacies (i.e: Medsengage etc. )Look for help. Some drug manufacturers offer discount programs if you’re unable to pay using traditional means. For example if you order online and you order value is above the $200, then some online pharmacies offer additional discounts on your order.
UTI medicine in Greece?
It's better if you go to a doctor, even a pathologist will do. If you want to check with the farmacy you should tell the symptoms you got. some antibiotics don't need prescription. Cranberry juice is all over, you have to go to a big supermarket not a small one.Normally in the small ones you can find only the things that locals buy. @Airpole 1)most medicine don't have the same names I reassure you (even medicine of the same company). Pharmacists find the equivalents in the greek market. 2)some antibiotics are sold over the counter (i.e.amoxil-amoxiciline), but others need specific prescriptions from a greek hospital or doctor (not the normal ones, because of some substances inside). p.s. worked in a farmacy for some time
Pharmacies in spanish speaking countries versus in the united states?
Sip, de acuerdo con mmaster; ah! yeap; english... I'm latin-American, the last anwser is your European description; but with no offense, but medicines here sucks, or well, because I'm poor and medicines we really need are really expansive... so when I get sick I use my gradma remedy, some tea and lemons... we're not rich, and it's common for our family to surpass illnesses just waiting. The problem is that the medicines comes from others countries and are not made here, so they are expansive, exept maybe some who are made here but just to recover from flu or vitamins; we need real medicaments that should be made here... I can't belive that we need about 50$ just in some medication we need every month, only for one person. Well, now you need the Poor Spanish answer and the Rich Latin answer.
Is studying an MBBS in the Philippines better or should I stick to India? What are the pros and cons?
IF anybody tells you that MBBS abroad is better than in INDIA! THEY ARE LYING TO YOU! Keep away from them!If you are talking about studying medicine in the USA, UK, Australia, Canada or Western Europe, then yes - medical education in these countries has higher value globally than India. BUT if not, India is the best choice - trust me.I am a 2nd year medical student currently studying in the Philippines. Let me be brutally clear. Indian MBBS is highly valued outside India. Especially in the U.S. and U.K., (I have doctors in my family who live and work there). Ultimately, most of us choose to go abroad because we could not secure an admission in India and can’t pay the crores needed for a seat.I chose the Philippines because of the language, lesser flight travel time, similarity to the U.S. educational standards, living costs and fee structure.BUT, Don’t expect the best and come here. Some colleges in the Philippines are working with agents and producing people with degrees, NOT DOCTORS. In these colleges you will be treated like second class students and the real training will only be given to Filipino students. This is the TRUTH!Many of the upvoted answers above are from Indian Educational Agents/consultancy. They will only tell you things you want to hear. Some of them have cheated innocent students and their parents taking lakhs of rupees and no admission.I have wrote about my experience in the Philippines, how to choose the best college for MBBS in the Philippines and How to do admissions directly with the universities without paying agents or getting cheated.
