I'm seeing them very available in "bulk" out of China. Not much "pseudo-branded" out of India/elsewhere yet. Specifically looking at:

- Semaglutide: $10/month

- Tirzepatide: $60/month

- Liraglutide: $87/month

For unbranded/unlabeled Chinese "bulk" material, but packaged into consumer-ready vials, 2mg-10mg per vial. BYO QA/QC though, as with all non-FDA drugs. That's the huge catch, and it sucks for consumers. Testing just for active ingredient is >$100 and takes about a month. Testing for proper buffering agents, harmful contaminants, microbial contamination, etc is essentially unavailable at all.

I'm curious, where are you seeing these? I'm hardly an expert in finding this sort of thing.

That would be super inappropriate for this discussion forum.

If you have a valid rx is it still illegal for you to order the overseas drugs?

Default answer for Americans: “Yes it is still illegal, technically it’s smuggling, assuming it’s not a controlled substance.”

Nuanced answer: There is a loophole where Americans can get medicine from overseas if it is the exact same drug/brand/dose as their prescription AND the imported drug was produced under FDA supervision and is labeled for sale in the USA. This used to be a situation where you could get big discounts for the same brand name drug but now they have different brand names for different price markets and they don’t distribute the FDA drugs to India/Turkey/etc or do so at the same wholesale price; so this loophole doesn’t help much. You might find 10-20% discount off domestic retail price but not 80-90%.

Not a lawyer, but AFAIK if one has a valid rx for e.g. adderall, it's still illegal to make it (or even to buy it from a friend who got it via their own valid rx). I'd expect the situation to be similar.

Yes, otherwise everyone with a prescription that costs more than a few dollars a month would be ordering from these services and US pharmacies & drug-makers would go out of business (or be forced to cut prices dramatically)

[EDIT] As pointed out by another poster, unless the drugs are valid for import to the US and such and it's all done above-board—obviously, the US doesn't manufacture all its own drugs. But those aren't the cheap options.
