    I had my levels tested prior to supplementing and found I was at the low end of acceptable range so discussed with GP and followed his advice. Shots may be suitable if you test as seriously deficient. Otherwise you can get sublingual (under the tongue)

    Yeah, I think the sublingual will do just fine as Ive never been deficient in that area but I will find out soon when I see my regular doctor. Every time he’s checked my bloods before it’s been good except my Vit D is always deficient. Not enough sun, desk job and all. :lol: :lol:

    B12 is water soluble so excess passes out in your urine. You need about 2.5 IU a day and there is often 5-10 IU in mixed B and multivitamin preparations. “Pure” B12 tablets often have 500-1000 IU.

    Here is what the Mayo clinic has to say about B12:

    Interesting, I didn’t know that B12 could help prevent anemia. So is the intramuscular B12 shot acceptable? I think it last for 2 weeks or meets daily requirements for 2 weeks?

    The $40+$380 for shipping would cover the cost but gosh, you would need to have faith in human nature!

    Yeah, isn’t that something. I’m sure it’s just some random drop shipper trying to get a quick sale, or maybe like Gaj said, its a scam. I certainly didn’t think anyone would actually be ordering HepC drugs on ebay. :lol: And yes, you’re right. Nobody is supposed to be selling prescription drugs on ebay. After giving this thread much thought, I really don’t want to be responsible for somebody ordering through that seller. If you want, please feel free to remove the thread.

    Hi Fretboard,
    It is obvious that any eBay seller advertising Indian generic brands of Sofosbuvir for $40 per 28 tablet bottle is participating in an outright scam. While there could be some value in pointing out to new members that these things happen on the Internet and should be avoided, I don’t believe our assisting them to find the seller is in anyone’s best interests.

    It’s not for only for $40, it also includes $380 for shipping for a total of $420 per bottle. I don’t think it’s a scam at all but I didn’t list it on here for somebody to buy it either.

    The doctors, or the APNs who handle most HCV cases in the U.S., need to be educated. Do they have an annual convention? A place where a few of us could go and get their attention.
    Every profession has to “convene” once in a while.
    The professional journals and publications could be another way to get the information where it needs to go. We have been carpet bombing. Maybe we need to snipe for a while.
    The doctors are the keys.

    Absolutely, the annual convention is the AASLD, its supposed to be a nonprofit entity, but this is the US and I’m sure Big Pharma has fingerprints all over any medical related ass they can find, especially since conventions bring dollars!!! In June, its in Chicago!! wof.gif

    In USA it seems like everyone is constantly on their smartphone, but only checking facebook or ordering products, not reading news.

    Got that right! The US is slow to come around to generics, not sure why. I think US residents are not aware that they can legally buy generics and Customs will allow the drugs delivered to their homes. That’s what I was leery about but Customs held my pack for only 2 days and they were really cool about it, no hassle whatsoever. Also, I don’t think they pull every pack of drugs, I’m sure it’s done randomly. Wake up US!!
