    I still get a few headaches, but I’m full of a cold at the mo anyway, so may be that.

    I felt a bit ‘giddy’ for a couple of hours after taking my first dose, but put it down to excitement/nerves (I felt the same way when I was encapsulating the Dac).

    Anyway, first blood test soon Nadia? Those results’ll make you feel tons better.

    Beacon pharma are listed as the sellers on that page.

    There’s a message on another forum from someone who bought and collected direct from Beximco Pharma in Bangladesh. The way to find out if Beacon and Incepta do the same is to ask them. I’d be surprised if they don’t.

    Life, you do not need any other ingredients. Just put the medicine in the capsules and take them as is. Here are some links for the paper, capsules, tweezers, etc. I bought my goods from Amazon Japan so the links below are some examples only in English for ease of use. The tweezer link is to amazon japan as I could not find tweezers on amazon USA but you can see the picture to get an idea of the tweezers.

    You don’t need 1000 capsules so search for a box/bag of 100 for each medicine – total 200, though you only need 2 x 84 = 168 for 12 weeks treatment. I bought two different types of capsules, one for for each medicine, just to keep things a bit easier to track.

    The glassine weighing paper may not be necessary but it was cheap and easy to get in Japan so I bought it.

    This is just a link to a spatula/spoon. You will need to decide which size you want to buy.

    You probably do not need anything other than the capsules but my wife requested the other goods for ease of use. I also have a very small funnel in case filling the capsules directly from the paper proves difficult. You will need to decide for yourself how you want to proceed with the encapsulating and buy the necessary tools. Best of luck. Regards, Gary

    I think I’ve posted this capsule chart before, but it’s worth putting it up again:

    And, because our medicine is ‘immediate release’, don’t get the enteric coated (delayed release) ones.

    Grapefruit is know to interact with many different medicines, and amplify their effect:

    I found this for Sof:

    So, in theory, someone who has mates in their local Bangladeshi community could look into getting the stuff delivered to a mate’s relative in Bangladesh and then that relative could ship it to your home country as a personal use medicine?

    If the Dac is coming straight to the customer from Beacon Pharma, it should be legit. Beacon Pharma are a well established Bangladeshi generics manufacturer. They’ve been discussed on here, and one of their reps has been on the forum too. He was quoting $3.8US per pill shipped, so the price is about right with a small commission for the agent.

    I found this list of Bangladeshi gastro consultants Through google:

    http://doctorsbangladesh.blogspot.co.uk/p/gastro-enterologists.html

    I’d contact them, starting at the top of the list. The key to getting a script with any Dr is going prepared. Ask them what medical history info they need in order to write.

    I just did a Google, and gastroenterologists are available at both the Spire and Nuffield clinics in Cambridge. I’d phone their practice managers, have a chat and ask them to sound out their consultants. That’s all I did to find mine in Manchester. They will start out unconvinced because it’s in their programming. The key is to ‘sell’ yourself and your proposal to them, to be well prepared, with compelling evidence of your supply chain, etc.

    Sov/Dak costs the NHS about £20,000 more than Harvoni per 12 weeks:

    http://www.pmlive.com/pharma_news/limited_access_to_new_hep_c_treatments_under_the_spotlight_788876

    It’s a purely cost-driven decision to treat G1’s with Harvoni.
