Hi,

I'm new to this forum and need some advice.
I'm from Malaysia, have Hep C (Gen 1a) and latest Viral Load count (5th Feb 2018) is 4.8 million

I have ordered MyHep LVIR (Sof +Ledi) which is a Mylan product via a supplier online and expect to receive the medication within the next 3-4 days.

Is there anyone who have used this generic before from Mylan and if yes, how do i determine the medication i have ordered is "original" and not a fake? Is there any signs i should look out for in the box, tablets,etc ? Appreciate any advise.

Thanks in advance.

Regards
Yugen

And forgot to mention, the medication is being shipped from India.

Welcome to the forum Yugen88, and best of luck on your treatment journey. I'm sorry but I don't know if there is an easy way to find out if the Mylan medication you're receiving is authentic or not. The only suggestion I have is to send 1 pill to FixHepC and they will test it for you. I know that they provide this service for a fee. I'm sure that if other forum members can help you, they will reply too.

Hello Yugen88,

The only way to know with 100% certainty is to subject at least 1 tablet, selected at random to qNMR or HPLC-MS. These are both high cost laboratory instruments. We do this on request.

We have a section on supply chain integrity which is really important with getting things online. fixhepc.com/supply-chain-integrity.html

Mylan make good medication. The trick is making sure Mylan made it.

If you want to post some photos I'll compare them to a sample box we have in the safe.
