Article said 25% less. That doesn't mean shit comparing it to US pricing after the FDA and drug companies rape it. Still cheaper to buy black market from China.

yes agreed, but being able to get US GH on black market is always a plus....at least to have an alternative to Serostim....we will see if it gets HIV indication, if it does, we can count on it being somewhat available on the black market.

Maybe with Dr. perscription we can get the from Canada. Don't know if HG is a steroid or hormone under Federal Law. Seems with perscripion from America and a hormone that has US approval. Sells both in US and Canada you won't
have to worry about the old 'knock and talk'

For the Mfg to make any sort of inroads into the domestic GH market, the pricing will need to be at least 50% cheaper than currnetly available GH. At that point insurance companies will start demanding it's use as a 'generic' even though it really can't be called 'generic'. It is Omnitrope.

lthough Novartis has not yet announced the U.S. price of Omnitrope, in Germany it sells at about a 25% discount to the older growth hormones, Hussain says.

Saw this on M+M a little while ago, we'll see its availibity if perscribed generically for AIDS patience.

Is OMNITROPE cruurntly being sold in US with perscription?

We are currently looking into carrying this product. There is also another generic on the market right now. It is called tev-tropin. The availability of this product will really depend upon the indications that it will be approved for and will determine which pharmacies will carry this medication.
