Hi dtdwfhpc,
I cannot comment on this particular seller as I have never heard of them, sorry.
It always makes me wonder why anyone would not take a trusted route that is shared by many others.
I do understand that price may be a concern, but these are powerful medicines for a serious condition and my personal feeling is, buy medicines for your father through someone who has supply chain integrity.
You have come to the right place for that with the Fix HepC buyers club!

Meanwhile, apart from the most secure option, which would be the Fix HepC Buyers Club, the Redemption Trials or Greg J, there are discussions re suppliers on this forum in ‘Pharmas Market’. Putting your father’s GenoType & short treatment history in your profile would also help others here to advise you correctly.

Best wishes & wishing your Father well.

rightly said 2b. You are not saving much and does not make sense going for anything that does not have a recommendation of the moderators here on fixhepc or the buyers club.

i think dtdwfhpc is humbuk and has registered a new account today to post the same thing. be cautious.

Hey dtfwfhpc,

Like on any forum, the are some people here who shoot first and think later. Oiu asked a fair question and got some good anserws . This is what this site is supposed to be all about.

Just added +1 to your karma, as my way of saying I dont agree with some of those recent posts against you.

Hang in there my friend,

If anybody has an issue with a post or poster, they should report it to Moderation. I would have deleted the post by sergey01, but dtdwfhpc ( couldn’t you have chosen an easier user name? ) has quoted it in a reasonable rebuttal. Like Vororo, I’ve bumped dtd’s karma back up.

Here I reply to myself.. again.
I know nothing about Dr. Reddy. What I do know is that an Indian can buy generic Harvoni for $4 a pill or $336 for a 12 week tx. So, here is a source who is selling abroad for twice that amount. I have no clue what is going on, but I DO know that millions of Indians have HCV and many if them are desperately poor and can’t afford the $4 price. I am pretty sure there are some people who could find a way to make money given that particular set of circumstances.

Hi all,

The below does not relate to the Dr Reddys issue directly but represents my thoughts on some of the prices being quoted here.

Agree about reliability of suppliers being a concern but I also think there are other issues involved. I suspect the prices being quoted are taken from the article linked in this thread – http://fixhepc.com/forum/media-news/530-drug-that-costs-1200-and-sells-for-5-in-india.html

A couple of points about this article:

The drug being discussed is named as Sofosbuvir not Harvoni, so will be cheaper anyway. The min price quoted is as low as $4.29 so not a standard price although there is some speculation that it may go lower with time. That quoted value is the cost if a village of 200 people successfully negotiates directly with the drug company (no middle man or distributor profits) for exclusive treatment for that village. That is, it is a marketing share driven bulk deal not a normal street price and should not be compared with the pricing for buying one treatment for an individual.

Now, it may be that some of the drugs sourced this way end up on the black market at below the going rates but in that case there is the very real possibility that this will result in an Indian with hep not being treated because either someone scammed them or alternatively they or someone else made the difficult decision that feeding the family was more important than being cured.

Just something to consider when discussing Indian prices although I’m sure we would all like to see lower prices worldwide.
