Why is Valium more expensive in some parts of the world
      #202463 - 11/22/04 07:58 PM

I have a question, Im sure someone has an answer, but why does it seem all Valium from the Phillipines is way less than say even the cheepest argentina IOP?? I mean, they are both Roche right!??!! Not some India med that is licesened to use the name. Im sure the plants are diffrent. I guess I really wonder because some many mixed reviews on Joes Valium. Anyone compare Joes to Dons V's?

I think the problem doesn't lie with Joseph’s valium but with the temperature changes it encounters while in transit, not to mention different seasons in different countries also adds to it. Valium is very susceptible to be affected by big drops in hot/cold weather. I'm sure googling this will result in a much more scientific answer than I just gave though!

I know I bought some valium made in Karachi Pakistan and it was definitely weaker than Josephs, however the Australian ones which I was prescribed here in Sydney are about the same strength as Joseph’s, although they only make 5mg in this country and usually give you a generic called Valpam. It’s made to extremely strict regulation though.

Hope it helps sorry if there are typos, in a big rush today.

Also, the valium in the phillipines sucks. Compare Judy's or Joseph's V's to that of an argentinian source and you'll notice a difference.

I agree with the weather (hot/cold). If you are buying valium from an IOP its not lke its been sitting on the CVS shelf where the temp stays at around 70 degrees year round. Also the humidity plays a part. The drug store has a/c.

Thank you!

Buy the argentinian meds because I know I'll get them and they'll be top quality.

Other places have them cheap also. Pakistan (yeah I know) has
then for .40-.50 cents,another mate in England has them for .60 cents a pop, and another in brasil for .60 cents (shipping time 7 days - 10 months).

The "real" ones cost plenty in the U.S of A. Try this on for size: 45 brand name (Roche) 5mg (mellow yellows) cost almost 2 dollars a copy (!) for a script filled at Albertsons/Saveon. They were excellent, or did what they were supposed to do (cute little V cuts); but, gee whiz/golly -- $80+ for 45 5mg Valiums (without insurance, need I say)-- what's up with that? They weren't that much better. Or maybe these ones were gold-plated.
No wonder we order from overseas and try to get past customs. Not that I ever have.

how much would it have been if you got the generics? They got at least 3 reliables in eu doing them all day for .50-.70 cents a peice on the 10's. *From what I hear* they are white, and if you received without blisters you may feel like you were fooled.

Who can really say. In Australia xanax 1mg is $8 USD for 50. With a script though.
