Obtaining some hard to get meds

[Laurs]

Did you get that shipment via Serena? If not, then I would try her, as she is experienced in dealing with customs. She is very creative. @Breton reported above, how he got stuff to Finland without problems.

@Ursus Minor, FWIW, I would still ask Serena, in a whatsapp or text message or something, to mark the shipment as 'acrylic paint' or something like that. She marked my package as 'resveratrol' and i had to do a lot of persuation to get the package through customs. Serena helped every step of the way, but i noticed people within the EU who got 'acrylic paint' marking had no issues at all.

I didn't want to mention it, but that is what I meant, when I said that she is very creative. Contacting her and tell her of the concern with customs, is a good idea. One time, the customs asked me to provide a receipt so I sent a screenshot from the money transfer via online banking.

Thank your for your advice.

Meanwhile I'm in contact with a physician in the alternative community who is offering to sell me 1,200 mg in capsules she had no use for.
I trust that though officially the shelf-life is usually only twelve months ivermectin will still be good for a couple of years, am I right?

fmoe , personally I would go for them ,I reckon they will be fine imo ;)

1,200 mg? Usually they are 12 mg per tablet. Or is that a total amount in powder form?

‘Use by dates’ are generally a scam - most medication (with a few notable exceptions) last almost indefinitely, as long as they are kept dry, cool and away from light.

Years ago, a forum member posted a study conducted by the FDA/military stating that meds were usable after years in cold dry storage, with no side effects, although some reduced potency. I couldn't find the original article to re-post it.

PubMedCentral has a report though that appeared via a search on-line: Drug expiry debate: the myth and the reality. Here's an excerpt, and there's a little more information in the report.

Most of drug expiration dates information is from the study conducted by the Food and Drug Administration at the request of the military. With a large and expensive stockpile of drugs, the military faced tossing out and replacing its drugs every few years. What they found from the study is 90% of more than 100 drugs, both prescription and over-the-counter, were perfectly good to use even 15 years after the expiration date.

Hence, the expiration date doesn't really indicate a point at which the medication is no longer effective or has become unsafe to use.

Excluding nitroglycerin, insulin, and liquid antibiotics, most medications are as long-lasting as the ones tested by the military. Placing a medication in a cool place, such as a refrigerator, will help a drug remain potent for many years......Solid dosage forms, such as tablets and capsules, are most stable past their expiration date. Drugs that exist in solution or as a reconstituted suspension may not have the required potency if used when outdated.

I take it that the physician has 1200 mg, which is in tablet form. If there are 12 mg per tablets, then that would be 100 tablets.

It amounts to 100 capsules. As I don't expect to use many of them it will probably enough until the time the system crumbles and stuff like that should be freely available.

Twice I tried getting a quote from Indiamart, twice they didn't reply by email like they used to, but instead sent a robot msg in WhatsApp asking if I asked for a quote for "x" product. The problem is that the picture of the product is not what I asked for. I'm confused.
I said no twice, and it stopped the process, with no further contact.
I'm going to try saying yes.

Do you use the Indiamart chat feature? It's not Whatsapp, but I click where it says to sign in (I use my email address) up in the right, and they send me an OTP code to log in. I send messages that way and the vendors usually respond within a day.

I dont remember having to do that procedure. I clicked the link you gave me, used the search option to find the product, then I clicked on "Yes I'm interested" button. It opens a box I need to fill with some details, and I press send.

I understand that ivermectin is easy to buy around the world, but here in Germany it is illegal to buy medication from outside of the EU.
The last shipment was confiscated and I had to pay a fine of 50 euros. I was informed that for another try I would have to face litigation.

Even if there is a dealer offering ivermectin within the EU it would be highly likely that the stuff will be sent from China or India.

I wonder how other Germans or EU citizens facing similar restrictions are dealing with that situation while trying to build up a necessary IV reserve.

That is sad to see. A cheap, effective medication suppressed by dark forces who dont want us to have access. Well, piss on them, get it any way you can. I deal with IndiaMart now also...delivery is less than 2 weeks and its clearly marked and packaged, gives me some confidence they are what they say.
Ive been taking IVM, Fen, Meb, HC for years now...pretty much every day, have not been sick at all....the few weeks I didnt take anything, I was in Florida and had horrible allergic reaction to something, maybe the Palm Trees...Ive heard some people are very allergic to them. I buy these by the 1000s and have given many to friends and family who have been sick and asked about them (im the crazy one in the family, but they come to me when they want something forbidden or taboo lol) and it always seems to work...that makes me happy to do it, im not stockpiling all this for myself.
