Export of medicines - who exported how much?
Tell me, who took out how many packs of medicines from Egypt? Were there problems at the airport? Did you open your suitcase? Is it better to pack between things? I want to buy medicines, I was very interested in these moments. Thanks.

zolyshka111 everything is quite prosaic, my mother needs to constantly take certain medicines, and these are very significant numbers at Ukrainian prices, plus a set of funds that we all buy in our pharmacies periodically and at our prices. I asked our doctor friends, with whom we traveled that time, to pick up analogues of the necessary medicines, figured out the prices and just went nuts from the price difference !!! for different positions of the necessary medicines, the price difference was from 3 to 7 times cheaper in Egypt !!! I buy medicines for my mother in the amount of $ 150 to $ 200 a year, a cool figure turns out to be a cool figure. To minimize these costs and go on vacation for the difference in price once again, it seems to me this is a very correct approach;)) What kind of drugs are we talking about, consciously I don’t write, otherwise some of my colleagues on the forum will reach for the calculator and start to form a business plan in my head)))

kvi2007, all kinds of business plans have been in the works for a long time (I wrote above that even taking into account the fact that the drugs were taken from intermediaries directly in Ukraine, the difference was very significant). And when it comes to a drug worth tens of thousands of hryvnias per course in Ukraine...

By the way, yes, I, as a person with a medical education, but who left this area a long time ago, of course, I don’t always follow the news, but then I read on pantagora, I think what kind of panacea it is, I got into the Internet and the first link immediately jumped out to me about the sale of this pantagora from Egypt, that is, supplies have been established for a long time, another question is about its effectiveness, but this is a dietary supplement, not a medicine, here everyone decides for himself. Personally, I have a negative attitude towards dietary supplements and other bullshit, or rather, not like that, if a person has a placebo effect after taking dietary supplements, it’s not a question, let him be treated, if only it doesn’t get worse. Another question is the question of self-treatment, as they wrote above about Egyptian insulin, there are already a lot of doubts, but the forum is not medical, but tourist, so sorry for the offtopic)))

zolyshka111, and where did you get the idea that it was about self-treatment ??? Our state has made huge interruptions in the provision of this drug .... With all the consequences.

I think the point is the cheapness of medicines, so people began to self-medicate en masse.
It makes sense to bring drugs from other countries if this is exactly what the doctor prescribed (not only the INN, but also the trade name). It is no secret that Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan are considered, despite all the economic crises and legislative restrictions, to be extremely potential markets for pharmaceuticals, so they set prices three times higher than in other countries (if not VED). And it turns out, for example, that the same drug for asthma, for example, is more expensive to buy in Kaliningrad than in neighboring Poland.
But here everyone is discussing Egyptian analogues, and not exactly the same drugs. And this is what I can't understand. Since when did Egypt become a great pharmaceutical producer? Moreover, these are generics, no one checks their equivalence to the originals, where does this belief in their incredible quality come from?

El Ezaby in Sharm 3 pharmacies. Round the clock!!! Areas of Nabq, Naama and IL Mercato. Open a google map and see where is closer. You can combine a trip to George Clooney and a pharmacy in Nabq, walk 15-20 minutes one way

ollennka, many of my good friends doctors (with a lot of practice) always have Egyptian drugs, ala Creon (festal), enterespasmil, etc.
and faith in quality, because for the counterfeiting of drugs is already a very severe punishment.
meaning of checking generic? the active substance is the same and without any changes, only the name is different.
and in general the pharmaceutical industry is just some kind of scam
the same drug can cost a dollar and another 100
and about dietary supplements, you can also discuss for a long time, not to mention the fact that any active medicine (specifically the active substance) would be put into production, not only one year, but even more than one dozen years should pass

Allover The World, Creon and Festal, well, kapets, these are generally enzymes, not drugs, and they are just as useless as mezim and its active ingredient, pancreatin. At the moment, there is no medicine that cures pancreatitis. Just so you know, pancreatic cancer is basically incurable. Perhaps an organ transplant, but there are also a lot of nuances. And if your doctor prescribes drugs for the treatment of pancreatitis, know this is a scam. By the way, the life hack in alcoholism is not the liver that suffers, but the pancreas. This is a very unique organ.

AllOverTheWorld, the fact of the matter is that the active substance is one, and no one conducts further research: how much of this active substance is really there, what is the quality of the excipients ... The substance is brought from some India, where it is cheap and cheerful))).

zolyshka111, To be honest, I'm also surprised that a "doctor" who has not taken place or who has changed his profession is telling me about insulin as a self-medication option ... Well, you know, you know a vital drug. Well, as for the direct treatment of hepatitis C, the list of drugs and the supplier’s contacts were given by the attending physician herself (of course, she is in a share with suppliers, but isn’t someone in our country in a share with uzists, pharmacists, etc.). You know, these are not dietary supplements ... You need to understand what to buy and treatment regimens.

Keep your receipts. At customs, you will definitely be checked if you are with medicines. Well, about the benefits of pantogar, most likely it is individual: as my nails exfoliated, they continue to exfoliate, my hair continues to fall out. The only thing I've gained is the extra weight.

moy_contakt, I will not respond to rudeness with rudeness, in principle, I don’t care what your mother-in-law injects herself, maybe you have a personal interest in her taking insulin of an incomprehensible production, such as an apartment shines as a legacy or something. This is your personal, but a normal person who cares about the health of his relative will not inject him with Egyptian insulin, because it is cheaper.
PS. Read about methods of insulin administration in Europe. Although, what the hell is Europe, it’s easier for the mother-in-law from Egypt to bring insulin, let her prick and rejoice.

zolyshka111, before this question arose, you were not even aware that medicines could be brought from Egypt, but you consider it possible to talk about quality. Like all idiots and only you, an unfinished doctor, a know-it-all. Apparently you, like those in the "tank", do not know how many fakes and dummies in our country are sold under the guise of very expensive medicines, but they, in your opinion, are apparently better. On this topic, I close each with my own opinion.

moy_contakt, why did you decide that I was not aware of everything that you wrote? You are nervous, since you start insulting me, then my words have hooked you. I also see that your relatives are sick and their treatment is not cheap for you, and this infuriates you even more. In order to save money on their treatment, you agree to give them a ram in pills, so long as it does not affect your wallet so much. Don't worry, people don't last forever, and you will grow old too, and your children, perhaps due to savings, will buy you not European drugs, but Zimbawian or Côte d'Ivoire. Otherwise, I can’t explain in another way why your mother-in-law injects herself with Egyptian insulin instead of French. Although, I understand, this is the mother-in-law, not the mother. Good luck, the discus is over with you.

Zolyhka111 is off topic and happy for her health. I fully support my_contact. For you to understand the cure for Hepatitis C costs about 200 thousand dollars the original for a course of 12 weeks. Generics that they remember are made under license in Egypt, and possibly in India, the cost price is about $ 100 for a course of 12 weeks. Only in Egypt, people are sold to the poor for 200, and in the CIS they are sold to the poor for 1000, this is how your government takes care of the health of the CIS biomass

My tourists brought to Kyiv half a suitcase of drugs (for the liver and for something else there) .... BUT! AT THE CUSTOMS IN SHARM THEY TURNED THEM INTO THE INSIDE!!! All checks and boxes were checked. They stuffed drugs into 2 suitcases, so they turned both suitcases inside out, and very frayed nerves. But since everything was allowed, nothing was confiscated.

I took checks for payment and invoices in a pharmacy with a seal. I threw out the instructions from the boxes and packed 5-6 blisters in one box. Thus reduced the number of boxes. Came back a couple of days ago. Questions at the airport were not asked at all, the suitcase was not unpacked. They checked superficially, as I carried 2 bottles of water, shampoo and balm in hand luggage. :))
