We knew it had to be coming, they could no longer purchase meds to sell...their selection is tiny compared to what it used to be, and it never was very large. They used to be one of my favorites too, so I join in mourning their passing.

They got Temgesic to me with no problems on a couple occasions. Also, got my ONLY LL when dealing with them. I wish them luck.

I haven´t ordered from them in two years - and still this strikes a sad chord in me.
Now you made me all nostalgic.
However: I wish the best of luck to the Interpharm crew!

They were my very first IOP I used years ago. I luckily still had my password in my email and logged in for the first time in years. They dont have much of a porduct list left. Copyed this from the site.
Important News update
The Lobby of Big Pharma tries all to stop the international re-importation of medicines back to the U.S. or to Europe. Under their pressure the government of Thailand, which is currently a club of big business representatives, are modifying laws and export regulations in favor of the big business, and also big pharma.
Our Prime Minister, who is the richest man of Thailand, quadrupled his fortune in the last 4 years, since he is Prime Minister. It is no secret that he is promoting big business (including his own), at the cost of the SMEs. He is also a friend of big pharma. They request to stop the delivery of low cost medicine from Thailand to the U.S.A. and to Europe, and he is obeying to their wishes.
As a consequence it is at the moment impossible to legally buy any of the popular medicines our customers ask for to refill our stock. We have orders open for them at all distributors and wholesalers available, but almost all products are currently impossible to get. Nothing is available. Nothing. We did run out of stock of many products already, and we cannot get them at the moment.
However we still have a big stock of other products, such as diazepam and lorazepam, which allows us to supply you for many months.
Reducing or products offered to less than half of what we had before does of course also mean that we have less than half of the order volume. And this means that we have to reduce our staff accordingly. Which means that we will not ship every day anymore, and also not pick up payments every day anymore. This means that there can in some cases be a delay now of one or two days after you notified us of a payment, before we pick it up and ship.
We are sure that you will understand and bear with us. We hope that the times will change to the better again soon!

I am also sad - I will miss Malee and the quality and regularity of the product - worry for UK based buyers is that Interpharm are just the first - I have heard that all Thai and Indian pharmacies / IOPs are being forced to stop selling abroad - the above post explains some of that - I got this email as well, but you get a good explanation in the Interpharm site - resources are diminishing with all IOPs across all borders so I am getting nervous - Interpharm say they may be back, but in UK IOPs are big news and I am reading articles and seeing news items all the time - the pressure is from UK and USA/Canada governments forcing new regulations and cutting off supply - latest is that 3rd world countries cannot even produce generic drugs anymore, while its OK for Europe & USA, I am not worrying about myself here, but these countries are gonna be forced to buy expensive drugs and peope will die cos they can't afford the aids medication they need - I mean we get the icing on the cake, or if you will the cherry that falls off top with cheap well made 3rd world generics, but the main cake itself is being taken from the hands of the needy and hungry - I support DBs stance on cheap drugs for all

Yeah, I havent used them in years, but they were great. Sure, mail from them was a customs gamble since it came from Thailand (also got some scary/amusing deliveries, like a package of Phenob that had been torn open and inspected, only to be resealed by US Customs with green inspectors tape and sent on its way)... but they were always fast to correct problems, and had great service. Shame to see them go, even if I werent using them anymore.

Saw their website on NBC news tonight in a story about the internation OP raids today. Suspect they've been arrested. Shame, they were nice people.

I'm really sad to see these guys having to shut down. I must've ordered 10 times with them and they've come through every time.
I think the quality of their Mano 10 diazepam has to be the highest quality generic available.

Actually they were shown because they used to be a known IOP that has had to close down due to new regulations where they are located. Very doubtful that they are in jail anywhere, what they were doing was legal in the country they were in at the time they were up, and when it became illegal, they shut down. Sad, they used to be good
