Harvoni is affordable in to all in New Zealand......
« on: December 01, 2015, 06:14:42 pm »
Yesterday I had my friend in New Zealand ring the local Pharmacy and ask the price of Harvoni.....(I live in Australia)......

Cost of Harvoni is about $125 per week in NZ......(A month in Australia is $22K)......

Please do your own Due Diligence prior to travel....Don't forget to make sure you can bring it back through customs in the country you live in.....

Wow!
If that's the price, I doubt that N.Z. will be afloat much longer after all those sick Aussies climb aboard. What's the catch?

No catch as it is on the Gov subsidy list.....As I understand it they also give(maybe free) in cases like mine to stop the spread to partners,....

As my friend is looking into this for me I'll post more info as I get it.....Without doubt this is an option for Aussies and even Americans to consider and investigate...

Hi  I just got back to the US from Australia.  I contacted (from the US) The Hep C Buyer's Club.  They are in Hobart, Tasmania.  They will acquire the generic Harvoni from Mesochem in China, test it for potency and capsule it for you.  My 12 week supply was $1900. total.   $100 for the online doctor appointment with Dr. Freeman.   They are the real deal if anyone wants to go that way instead.  They will ship to any address in Australia.  They will not ship out of the country.   

I had no problem bringing it back into the USA. in my carry on bag.  (I wasn't going to risk losing it)
