Dear All,
If someone is offering medications without prescription don’t buy. All manufacturers require prescription on file so the medication will be of dubious quality/stolen. The correct way to buy medicines is walk in with a prescription into a reputed pharmacy and get the meds. That way pharmacies are not getting time to source ‘fake’ meds for foreigners who would travel back and wont be able to take any action unlike the locals. Delivering to a hotel to a foreigner is one of the oldest scam routes for not only meds but other goods.
There is one more challenge in India.There are half pills in the market. 50% pill rest is sawdust in identical packaging. So results will be 50% and people wont guess the pills are half fake.
Also no pharmacy in India can charge more the MRP(Maximum Retail Price) which in this case is 25000INR per bottle or when converted is 1114USD for 3 bottles. Its plain illegal and if reported leads to immediate cancellation of license. Most large reputed pharmacies will automatically give a discount without asking if u walk in because its standard policy. You can tell a reputed pharmacy from its size and number of people buying from it during evening hours after work. They will not be selling meds online because they have enough business already and don’t want the overhead of export license. If you have made up your mind to travel to India and need help buying genuine medicines & Indian prescription please let us know at care@monkmed.com and we will help you connected with reputed pharmacies.
Again donot buy from someone who will sell without prescription. It just means the meds did not come from the right source.
Warm Regards,
MonkMed Care Team
