Hi,

I'm having problems ordering from beacon to Europe. Normally I just placed an order with Abdullah Manun but for some reason he will not respond. How is everyone else placing orders.

Thanks

Ben

Hi EveryoneI

I have about 15 packs of Tofacinix left from Beacon. I decided to stop taking it. Please let me know if anyone is interested to purchase it. I live in Brooklyn, NY, USA

Hi Nicole,

I finally got my generic Xeljanz from Beacon. Mouree was great, super professional and the ordering process was really no hassle at all after I got in contact with him. I’ve made an appointment with my PCP- but I do not know yet if they will test the meds. I called a few compounding pharmacies and the cost was outrageous— $1500, requiring 5 pills to be sent in.

is there an alternative? I don’t want to shell out more money than I have to but know the testing is necessary before I start the process. Any guidance/advice would be much appreciated.

All the love and gratitude!!

-Sara

I have been so thankful fir prescription Hope which has been able to get xeljanz for me at no cost. This program in based in USA if anyone wants to contact them for help it’s amazing. It is really evaluated yearly and you will have time where you don’t have the medication right away that’s why I needed other sources to obtain the only medical treatment that works for alopecia.

I am also concerned about reparation date. I have medication that will expire by 10/2021. Trying to juggle meds expiring to take first.

I bought 1 year supply from beacon it took about a month or longer to arrive. Doc pharma it was 3 month supply arrived quickly and when one shipment was running late they contacted customs it arrived in 24 hours to my front door.

At 11:28pm on October 5, 2020, Apple said…

The company was DOC Parma delivered to my door within 14 days $500. For one month supply.

At 11:18pm on October 5, 2020, Apple said…

I hear that generic xeljanz will be available in USA soon. Has anyone had any news on this? I had my medication from beacon com by deliver right to my home, but it did take time to arrive. I ordered from another company from India and RCVD it promptly but costly.
