Who faced the pharmacies of Egypt? What is the cost of hepatitis C medicine Harvoni or Heterosofir. Do you need a doctor's prescription? Are there pick up issues at Sharm airport?
Thanks

Thanks for the link, quite useful, but I'm waiting for practitioners who bought (with a prescription without?) and exported drugs MPIVIROPACK, Harvoni or Heterosofir. Hepaforte and hepabene brought 10 packs each (3 sheets of 10 capsules each), they crooked at the customs in Sharm, but let them through, they didn’t ask for a check at the pharmacy, it’s enough until the end of the year, my mother-in-law was brought in the hospital with injections or droppers, but she’s good, because. to. does not live with us. Thanks for any link or advice

It's better for you to contact those who live in Egypt. I bought drugs without a prescription, but it was insulin. There were no problems with transportation at all. Yes, and if you were transporting and just grimacing, then I think that there would be no problems, because if it were forbidden, then they would have unloaded it without talking and everyone and no one would even talk to you. Again, the recipe. You are a citizen of Ukraine, whose prescription should be so as not to crook ... if this form of medicine can be carried in a suitcase, then there will be no problems (insulin is not allowed, only hand luggage).

I read in a pharmacy that medicines for hepatitis C are not allowed to be exported.

Hello. The medicine for hepatitis C costs $65, there are two jars for a month. Take out without problems. Do not listen to anyone. At least a whole suitcase in the luggage. We were asked by the administrator from the hotel to transport and transfer to Kiev. Any medical preparations can be transported from Egypt. There they are much cheaper and better than in Ukraine.

Good afternoon! Recently, literally in January, I visited Sharma and bought Heterosofir. I must say right away that there are no problems with transportation at the customs, they looked at it and put it back without asking anything carried 3 jars per course cost 62 dollars per jar. But with the purchase there were problems, it turns out that soft + ice is very difficult to get in charm only by prior order in a pharmacy, any. And it is imperative to kill Akhmetka in the head that you need soft + ice, otherwise in one of the pharmacies they brought me soft + duck and shouted that it was the same thing. I took El Azabi at the pharmacy. They didn’t ask for a prescription, but I took the prescription just in case. Good luck to YOU!

Moreover, upon arrival, immediately ask where the pharmacy is located near you, go through and ask write down the name in English to show them they react so quickly if not, go to any pharmacy and order as they order this drug in Cairo and delivery will be in a day. In Kyiv, the attending physician was very surprised when they showed the drug and its cost.

Look at this article, it may be useful https://egypt-hrg.ru/zdorove/102-perechen-lekarstv-zapreschennyh-dlya-vvoza-i-vyvoza-iz-egipt a.html
Definitely - buy only in El Ezabi. It is unlikely that Egyptian pharmacies need our prescriptions - I myself bought serious cardio drugs two weeks ago - no one asked for a prescription, the pharmacist is only interested in the name and active ingredient in the drug (in case they are looking for an analogue of the requested one).
Regarding the passage of security at the airport of Sharma - a pure lottery. We flew with a friend, specially all the pills, along with a check from the pharmacy, were put in hand luggage. She checked every package and even every plate of pills in every box, frayed her nerves. sent to hand over the bag in luggage, etc., but ... chocolates work wonders in Egypt.
They didn’t even look at my hand luggage, they only opened a ladies’ handbag and studied the contents of the cosmetic bag for a long time. So draw your own conclusions..
Good luck!
Health to everyone!

Honey preparations need to be put in luggage. Why carry it in hand luggage? If you do not plan to drink them all during the flight.

vezha2, do you want to say that you checked in the purchased pills, and you were called in for inspection because of the presence of the pills? How many years I have been traveling and honestly, we often travel with children (we have three of them in total) and when we fly with a full train, one suitcase is half filled with exactly drugs in different forms (maybe children of different ages and the same paparcetamol for the elders in tablets, for the younger in suspension, etc.) and there was once a moment when, upon departure from Kharkov, we checked in our luggage and went to security checks and passport control, and we were stopped with the question why there are so many drugs? and immediately the employee looked at us (then the youngest was 2.5 months (now she is already 6 years old), the average is 7 and the eldest is 16) she herself answered on the radio that many children of different ages were traveling. On this, all questions disappeared. And nowhere else and never have we come across this, no matter how many medicines we carry, if there were never any questions in our luggage, including in Egypt (we fly there at least once a year)

moy_contakt means we were unlucky with the searches, the drugs were mainly for allergies, it was not even clear what alarmed the searchers so much.
