Here are my points and my last conclusive post on this topic. I will try to keep it positive after all the accusations thrown mine way.

Age 40 yrs, Indian, HepC for last 10 yrs. Ex Army, Ex Law Enforcement. Liver Cancer Survivor. Came to this site to share my experience but looks like you need to be old in this forum to be taken seriously.
Action against nine websites selling Schedule ‘H’ drugs – See more at: http://indianexpress.com/article/cities/mumbai/action-against-nine-websites-selling-schedule-h-drugs/#sthash.qPKKo2yr.dpuf
The above happened as we were posting replies and pretty much summarizes what I was trying to explain. After this no reputed pharmacy will sell meds without script. This has been in the news for sometime and all pharmacies know this very well.So if someone has still sold without prescription its anyone’s guess what was sold. Every single barcode is unique and a patient name goes on file for Schedule H and X drugs
For some few people who will not follow simple process rest others will get hurt as Govt will restrict sale to Indian Citizens when it sees foreigners violating processes.
Big Pharma influence is everywhere. They will enforce only 1 pharmacy (under their control) has the medicines in a particular city and it will not dispense to a foreigner. Locals will have no problem traveling, but what will foreigners do?
Big Pharma does not want its drugs to be shipped outside India. Bags of foreigners are being strictly checked and if any non prescription medication if found they will detain you and take you to airport police. This is happening in all international airports and you will see a news article on the crackdown very soon about it.

As far as Greg’s advice on getting prescription below is an excerpt from his email. Please see and respect the length he has gone in to explain how to get a prescription.

===”Greg’s Quote”===

You do not need a prescription to buy generic Sofosbuvir if you are in India yourself however I would recommend that you get one just to keep yourself covered, it may be required at some stage of your journey. Ideally I would suggest a prescription from your home country and one from an India doctor, just to make sure every eventuality is covered.

I obtained my prescription through the Gastroenterology Department at the Apollo hospital, this is a private hospital and they have a special section for foreign “medical tourists” very professional and easy to deal with via internet. Make your appointment before you leave home and make your appointment at the earliest time after your arrival in Chennai to allow for delays.

If you do not need the hospital then Lakshmidsan can arrange for a local doctor to consult with you and write your prescription. Remember to take along all you test results, scans, bloods etc. There are other high quality hospitals in India and other Apollo hospitals in other cities. https://www.apollohospitals.com/international-patient-services-plan-your- visit.php

If you do not need to see a specialist then most India GP’s will write you a prescription if you have all your test results and explain the situation.

So if he was cautioning on getting a script 3 months ago, don’t you know think after all these incidents of Govt Of India Cancelling licenses etc you should be following the process and not make it impossible going ahead for foreigners to get medications? Like I said it costs only 6 bucks to get a script provided you have supporting documents to prove you have HepC.

Respected Dr Freeman, please take note of such discussion on illegal activities on your forum, encouraged and supported by moderators. I am afraid people will be misled and hurt and Govt will make it impossible for foreigners to get meds.

Paul, Darbara, The founding philosophy of FixHepC is around safety. If words gets around that FixHepC promotes risky illegal activities it will not take much time for regulators to clamp down this site. Hence my sincere request to everyone is not to promote illegal activities. If this was anywhere else like UK,US,AUS would you be able to get the drugs without prescription? There is a reason FixHepC requires prescription to ship medications. Please dont play with Indian Legal System and think its any where lenient and easy. Cops are known to put ppl behind bars on slightest suspicion and no lawyer will come to help for a case where Schedule H drug was procured without script.All this for few dollars?

Paul, I am Indian so I know India very well and posted in best interest of everyone so that no body gets hurt. There is no harm in getting generics from India as long you have seen a licensed doctor, gotten a prescription from him.then taken it to a pharmacy to buy the meds. 

Any reputed pharmacy needs to show a prescription on file to Pharma company for every schedule drug sold. or they WILL lose license when caught and blacklisted by DCGI. No pharmacy will risk its license(costs lakhs of rupees and decades of business) to sell meds to a foreigner without a prescription. There is definitely something phishy here.
