FDA not allowing drugs in?
I got a disturbing letter from the FDA two weeks ago. I had ordered some cialis and letter indicated importing drugs already approved was illegal and shipment was destroyed.
I have an order of rapamycin from IAS that has been showing in customs since July 1 and wondering if it will meet the same fate.
Anyone else seeing this?
-
Paul Beauchemin I have never had an order seized. I even had customs open it, see it was medication and tape it back up with their fancy customs tape and sent it to me without seizing it. Personal importation is allowed. From the FDA is strange, Shouldnt customs have sent you the letter?
-
Fred Cloud FDA sent it.
I've had customs open packages before. Never the FDA telling me this was illegal.
-
Paul Beauchemin I can see selective enforcement of narcotics or something but cialis? Strange.

I had a shipment from Singapore of Metformin seized by the FDA at JFK airport last year. I complained to the supplier, the Anti-Aging Store, and they sent me a replacement that arrived OK. I note, however, that the Anti-Aging Store may not be in business any more.

JGC Thank you for the heads up on The Anti-aging Store. Their website works but every product is out of stock. I had buying rapamycin from them.

Let's clear something up. Personal importation of prescription drugs is NOT allowed by the FDA. That has been a misconception that has been going on for decades. The FDA clearly says so on their website, but they also mention examples of how you can legally import them.

Hey, it's great that you are a rule-following Law-Abiding Citizen, but the FDA Rules are based on the antique and disproved view that aging is a natural and inevitable condition that affects more than 50% of the population and therefore cannot be treated as a disease that requires medical treatment. Acting from this viewpoint, they block funding and approval for drug trials that treat aging itself, and they frown on MDs who have the temerity to prescribe off-label drugs to deal with aging.
We really need reform legislation that defines aging as a disease and mounts a national effort to cure it, like cancer, etc. In the absence of that, I feel that ordering anti-aging drugs from abroad to deal with aging is a highly moral act of protest against this FDA nonsense.

Dark web was invented for people like you.
-
Peter North How is dark web going to get these items imported and not seized
-
Fred Cloud The same way they traffic all other illegal stuff. They must have great stealth I guess.

Got another letter from the FDA today on a shipment of rapamycin from IAS. Not allowed in. Second time this has happened now.
Got a shipment of testosterone from India in without any problems. Is IAS from China?
The cialis I had banned was from Wuhan
-
Paul Beauchemin Very strange, has your address been flagged now?
-
Fred Cloud A recent shipment of Androgel from India made it through fine.
I think it's stuff from China but not sure where IAS sends drugs from
-
Paul Beauchemin Well you could try to order rapa from India. I just ordered some yesterday, I will see if it arrives.
-
Fred Cloud who is your supplier?
-
Fred Cloud Did your Rapa arrive?
-
Ross Barker yes it did, no problems. I started taking it and can already feel it, I am very glad I decided to try it. I am losing weight from it and my body feels better, less inflamed. I only took 3mg.
-
Fred Cloud I messaged this company from India, this is their reply, does this look like the letter you got?
Hi dear. Rapamycin 1mg 50 pills cost 2.8$ per pill (minimum order); 100 pills cost 2.7$ per pill; 200 pills 2.3$ per pill; 250 pills 2.1$ per pill; 300 pills 1.9$ per pill; 500 pills 1.7$ per pill.

Ross Barker I didn’t get any letter, I just went to the website and ordered and used a credit card and got it in 2 weeks. Like ordering anything else, easy peasy.
-
Fred Cloud that must be a different company, please will you tell me where you got it? Can u give me a URL? Your source sounds much better then this one...
-
Ross Barker I've purchased from dropshipmd.com - no problems at all in previous attempt; Tried IAS last time and it got stopped by the FDA. IAS ships through Singapore and that seems to be a problem. Just ordered more from Soni Jon. They ship from India so I hope that it makes it to me
-
Paul Beauchemin what did you buy the first time Paul? I just watched a video by David Sabatini about Rapa, excellent! There is 2-3 more when my head stops spinning..

Paul Beauchemin I don't know if this is any leverage with the FDA, but they state "it appears to be a new drug". Rapamycin is not a new drug and has been prescribed legitimately in the US. With some documentation and a MSDS or other data from the supplier, you could just throw that in their face. Good luck, Paul.
-
Paul Beauchemin any luck in getting your Rapa?
