Its been 128 days since I've been in India

I've only been in Bangalore or Bengaluru for the past 128 days.  I've traveled a little in India to meet patients and deliver their meds.  95% of my travels are outside of India to Europe and Asia.  I have had a few deliveries in the Middle East like Dubai, Oman and Qatar.

My life, I never expected to be like this.  I had no idea I would be traveling as much as I am doing now.  Its exhausting.  The only thing I feel good about is seeing our patients get their hepatitis c medication.  They're grateful!  I'm grateful to be the delivery guy and for the service we provide. 

Some a very few ask me if is this legal.  I say yes, 100%  For example, yesterday I was in Singapore, meeting a couple from Portland, Oregon.  The woman in her late 50's was accompanied by her husband of the same age.  We'll refer to this woman as Carolyn. 

Carolyn, her husband was skeptical about having the meds shipped to the nearby place in the US and having it brought back in to the country.  These questions are understandable but for a person that has been doing this and living this life for the past 128 days, it can be annoying.  However, I swallow my ego and I calmly explain, how it can be done 100% legally.  All you need is a prescription for Harvoni or the generic version.  When you go back to the states, 99.9999% of the time, customs will not question it.  There has been one instance where a patient was questioned coming back in to the states by customs.  That woman was part of a group of 30 women and men below 65.  She had some fruits in her bag and was asked to empty her bag.  She did politely and customs asked her about the 3 bottles of generic Harvoni casually.  She informed the customs personnel "its my prescription medicine", and showed the legal prescription from the licensed US physician and was on her way.  This is not out of the ordinary, if you're carrying something that you should not be carrying like fruits, vegetables or flowers in to the US, shame on you.  As a patient, you have to exercise caution so you can get your medicine back home and start treatment.

 Yes, do not start your treatment when you're in between places.  Only start your treatment at your home.  There are side effects so, please let your body become accustomed to the medicine.  After you feel comfortable with the intake of the medicine then you can travel.  

So, back to Carolyn's husband and his question, is it legal, again our answer is categorically yes!

We've been having to deal with this question for the past few weeks, and finally I will respond.  Natco, the licensed manufacturer of generic Harvoni, Hepcinat LP, would like us to order 100+ bottles at a time.  We're a small clinic and pharmacy, we nor have funding or budget to cover the cost of the meds.  The best we can do is order 3 bottles at a time, yes, the price maybe a bit higher than what is quoted most places online, but we always deliver.  We have to maintain our staff for our clinic and pharmacy.  India is pretty affordable but not that affordable.  Inflation is through the roof, there is a lot of price gouging for basic staple foods like lentils, rice, onions and tomatoes.  Our staff and their family depend on us as well as the volunteers from the states.  So, when we charge a little bit more than the manufactured retail price, this is the reason.  Also, we want to thank Mike Metzger from New York for donating his time and $28,000 towards helping homeless US veterans get affordable HCV medicines.  Thanks again for all your help.
