Obtaining some hard to get meds

I sent an email which didn't get returned so that is a good sign. Will post updates how it goes with the order.

Serena responded fast and after back and forth with the details, the order has been placed. Ordering in powder form is a cheap form. My order was as follows with prices given:
My quotation is as follows:
Piperacillin: 30grams 40USD.
Ivermectin: 100 grams 80USD.
Amoxicillin: 200 grams 20USD.
Metformin: 200 grams 10USD.
Shipping Cost 50USD.
Total 200USD.

In euros that is €180 in total. As the shipping seems to always be $50 it is worth ordering more things at the same time.
100 grams ivermectin equals 8333 12mg tablets, so for those who are able to without customs problems, that is worth thinking about. It is close to cover the needs of the 'village' or at least the extended family if need be.

Will you put the ivermectin / other substances in capsules? It's a bit of a challenge, I think.

No, I just use the milligram spoons and bought some years ago a scale to measure the actual weight of the powder in the spoons. Easy enough. Once you know how much the spoon holds, you can skip the weighing. They cost around $15, so affordable.

Not really…

This is the process that I follow:

1. First you need to find a ‘filler’ that you use to dilute the powder to get the correct dosage. You can use methyl-cellulose (relatively expensive) or maltodextrin (a sugar - cheap). Others have used rice flour, or the like.

2. I use “The Capsule Machine” which comes in all the normal sizes (000 - 00 - 0 - 1 - 2 etc), with higher numbers denoting smaller capsules. You then need to source empty capsules (usually made from gelatin). They come in two ways, put together or base and cap separated. The former is cheaper, the latter is faster (about 30%).

3. First fill a range of capsules with just the filler to determine the average content of filler if the caps are tightly packed. Measure their total weight minus the empty capsules, and divide this by the number of caps and you get the filler per cap.

4. Determine the amount of active substance you’d like PER capsule. Subtract this from the filler amount and multiply both by the number of caps you want to fill (a tray in the above mentioned caps machine is 24 caps). This gives you the total amount of filler and the total amount of active substance. You then need to weigh the filler and the active substance and mix them THOROUGHLY together. As scale I use a 0.01g resolution scale, for this purpose it is sufficient. You can get them for about USD 20 on Amazon.

5. Put the caps into the caps machine and fill them with the mix, and tamp. Then put the caps onto the bases, which is really easy to do with this machine (while with others it’s a pain in the backend) - et voila!

The Capsule Machine is the best one I have tried. It is smaller than others (24 caps vs 50 - 100), but it is the fastest of all those I have used. I can make about 24 caps in less than 10 min. The machine comes with an excellent description of how to put things together. Once you’ve done it once, it’s easy. Just write down the recipe you used so that you don’t have to recalculate next time you need to refill.
 
Well, it seems I ordered my package just in time. IndiaPost has suspended orders to the United States effective 8/25/25. This came from my supplier Beyond Care (above):

"Hello,

We would like to inform you that, due to recent regulatory changes implemented by the U.S. Administration, India Post has suspended the booking and dispatch of all mail items to the United States, effective from August 25, 2025.

This suspension has been necessitated by the inability of U.S.-bound carriers to process postal shipments under the new customs duty and data exchange regulations, owing to a lack of operational readiness and technical infrastructure for shipment-level data exchange.

As a result, we will not be accepting any new orders for U.S. deliveries until further notice. We are awaiting clarification from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the United States Postal Service (USPS) on the matter.

We are currently expecting the situation to be resolved within 7–8 days, though this may be subject to change based on further updates from the relevant authorities.

We are actively monitoring the situation and will provide updates as soon as we receive more information.

Thank you for your understanding and patience."

I'm assuming shipments to other countries are not effected.

Thank you Altair for the tip on quercetin, will definitely start stocking on it since buying Ivermectin or hydroxichloroquine it's not an option for me here in Italy. In June I've ordered some Ivermectin from China through alibaba, it never arrived, it has been confiscated by the customs as I was expecting unfortunately.

Hi @Andrian, sorry to bother you, I know the post I'm quoting is from 2021, but did you eventually figure out a safe way to get ivermectin delivered here to Italy? I see a lot of people in neighboring countries had no trouble with alibaba, but I've also had some trouble with customs confiscating orders before, and they were just simple supplements from the US (something from Mercola I think).
Trying to figure out how much of a hassle this is going to be, if it's possible at all
 
Hi Vajra91,

I've ordered through Alibaba and it hadn't passed through the customs.

I've contacted Serena, through whom many of our forum members managed to buy ivermectin, she handled the order in a professional manner. The item has been delivered smoothly through FedEx.

If you'd like you can try contacting Serena by asking more information on this matter by writing to: serena@xatzbiotech.com

Best of luck!
 
I just got a message from an IndiaMart vendor I'd previously order from regarding the suspended shipment of parcels to the USA. 🤷‍♀️

"Hello Sir/Ma'am,

Good news — USA parcel shipping has restarted. You can place your order, and we will dispatch it via Dubai Post for safe and reliable delivery.

Please let me know the product list so I can share the final cost and payment details.

Best regards,

Instead Medex Team"

Ah, I see. I had misinterpreted that old post and assumed that even that first order on Alibaba had been handled through Serena and still had been stopped at the customs, hence my worries. Good to know for certain that route works here too. Thank you very much for the clarification!
