congratulations on your setup alsdad,particuarly on your news updates. It would be useful to have a section where known prices from various sources were displayed,or where buyers could state the amount they paid,or what they were quoted on an enquiry. Also any problems they encounted.

I am quoted $1826 (usd) for 24 week course of twinvir from Incepta. I go tomorrow to Dhaka to purchase it. Pay in taka (local currency), so currency conversion rates can affect this price slightly.

Good idea this, Mike. Thanks for the suggestion.
I paid AUD $1500 for my 84 Sovaldi pills (and 504 free Ribavirin pills that I didn't use) from Greg Jefferys. And I paid USD $200 (though I believe the price has now risen to $230) for 6 grams of Daclatasvir API from Mesochem. Both prices included shipping via Fedex to the UK. Greg's stuff took about two weeks, and the Mesochem took four days, no probs with either.

hi, hope everyone is feeling well today, I paid 2200 AU Dollars = £1035 for both Sovaldi & Daclatasvir/ 12 weeks supply via Greg. I'll get Sovaldi from India & Daclatasvir from Bangladesh, but have no idea which generic brand or company. I'm currently awaiting their arrival, maybe 2-3 weeks, By the way if anyone is in need of very reliable & very cheap worldwide transfer service, this is one I have been using for over a year for both business & personal transfers. I also saved hundreds of £ using this company instead of my bank for transfers, plus it is user friendly, so even fatigued & foggy brains can understand it. Unfortunately they don't offer transfers to China, that was another reason I decided to go with Greg in Australia. Alsdad, I hope it is OK for me to post the link for the TransferWise company here, if not then feel free to remove it: transferwise.comI really admire you zippy for deciding to go to Dhaka yourself, I couldn't do it, just too exhausted to travel & a single woman, I did consider it before but decided against it for various reasons. What made you decide to travel to Bangladesh instead of buying it online?

I paid Greg AUD 1500 for 12wks sof and riba.The riba never arrived,and Greg kindly spent a lot of time emailing around to get some off someone who did not need it which caused quite a delay. Luckily I cadged some off a Hospital Pharmacist to carry me over a few weeks. So Alsdad or anyone else who has riba they are not using it may be useful to Greg to let him know it is available. I Paid Rachel at Mesochem AUD $367 which included western union fee for 6gm of Dac,and a further $65 to get it put into 100 60mg caps which gives me 16 days more than I need. I have considered extending my tx a further 12wks without the riba and got the following quote from Pavez at Incepta: "Thanks for your interest. The price of Twinvir is 1080 USD for 12 weeks and you need to add shipping charge 150 USD and service charge 170 USD. And the price of Virodacla/ daclatasvir is 435 USD and other charges will be included." I must confess that when someone quotes 150 USD to ship 3 small containers I am suspicious.Maybe there is an explanation,but he is already adding on 170 USD service charge.I don't deny him the right to make a profit,but Something doesn't seem quite above board.

Jolie, well done and congrats on taking your destiny into your own hands. The next few months will fly by for you. I'm particularly interested in how you go on with your treatment because your genotype, treatment history and meds combi are very similar to mine.
Good luck.

Mike, I'd been wondering what to do with the Riba, but didn't want to seem to be irresponsible in offering fairly toxic prescription meds around. You're right. I'll email Greg. When Greg got my Sof and Riba sent to me here in the UK, shipping was included. Fedex had put their waybill in with the documents though, and it was a few pence short of £100 Sterling (about AUD $210). So AUD $150 from Bangladesh to Oz sounds about right. But I wasn't aware that small quants of meds could be shipped out of Bangladesh. The AUD $170 must be a 'facilitation' charge to get around this. Sounds reasonable to me, particularly in comparison to picking the meds up oneself. But it makes just the Dac quite expensive. Have you thought about opening 'Mike's Compounding Pharmacy' and ordering a one-dose trial run of Dac from Mesochem on a nice new letterhead? I heard that competition is quite brisk in that game, so I don't expect you'll stay in business too long . Actually, you being in Oz, you can just get a letter from your existing compounding pharmacist?

Alsdad. I have been to most asian countries many times over the years,and sent heaps of stuff back,presents,things I didn't want to keep carrying in backpack. Never paid more than $20 at the most(sometimes incl insur) Used fedex many times.Just don't get what you are being charged in the UK.I am not arguing with Pavez's overall price.It is somewhere inline with all the other sources,and he is offering a useful service,to people in need.

I'm particularly interested in how you go on with your treatment because your genotype, treatment history and meds combi are very similar to mine. Good luck. thanks Alsdad, yes we have very similar tx histories & genotype. I'm following your tx history with great interest & aim happy to read all seems to be going OK for you, well done. It looks like I'll be taking the same exact meds you have as the wait for the new Bangladesh Daclatasvir is just too long, apparently others waiting now 5-6 weeks for it. So Greg & me decided to have the Dac form australia, meaning from Mesochem but already encapsulated. I'm happy either way & it will be a bit cheaper. I never knew myself so impatient before, just cannot wait for the drugs to arrive. Zippy, well done with the successful trip! I read your story on another forum, amazing with all the security, machine guns & military at every turn. Not a happy place to be just now, I hope the security at the Pharmaceutical plants where they make the generic drugs is good !

I purchased 24 weeks of twinvir (generic harvoni) from Incepta, Nov 8. Price was 145,000 Taka, total. Figure your own exchange rates to find cost relevant to your home currency. I believe that per pill price might be slightly higher is only purchasing 12 weeks.... check with their offices or rep on this board.

I agree that putting the price in the purchase currency is best Zippy. Currency fluctuations will change the converted price, but the local price will remain the same subject to no local price increase.

Hello mike One thing I need to clear in this forum. Currently we have no export permission. If someone need to take Twinvir via courier service in that case I need to arrange a third party. The price I quoted that is not mine. It is asked by the 3rd party who will arrange courier service for the needed people. My personal tendency is just helping on behalf of company. If anybody come to us directly the price of Twinvir will be discounted from 1080 USD to 929 USD for 12 weeks treatment. Another thing is we are not providing drug in Bottle, we are providing in blister strips. Each box contains one strips with 6 tablets, so for 84 tablets you need 14 boxes of Twinvir. Hope everything is clear here. Thanks Parvez
