Guest guest Posted April 13, 2002 Report Share Posted April 13, 2002 I had a friend once, who was part indian. and he would visit india and say that it was like mexico, etc, prescriptions could be had for the taking -- if you had the money. then I asked him if they had levaquin (gatifloxacin) and he couldn't find it. I get the impression they have general pharmacies that have the sort of HMO cheapo quality formulary they carry stuff like doxycyline and then there are the upper class, specialty pharmacies, which can order from europe and/or japan (which has some non usa approved new antibiotic classes for vre, mrsa, etc.) I think france has some new antibiotic class, possibly, I don't keep up on this anymore. My advice would be to get the pharmacy which can order directly from roche in switzerland. failing that, zithromax + an NSAID is the poor man's accutane don't despair, India led the world in medicine back a few centuries ago... everything's cylical keep us posted on your results > Hi again Taher here, > > As mentioned earlier, I am an indian.
