What are specific issues related to ordering ARVs that I should be aware of?
A. We can supply any branded or generic ARVs that are approved or tentatively approved by the FDA. The manufacturing sites of these FDA-approved ARVs are also specifically inspected for GMP by the FDA to meet quality standards. The sites may or may not be within the US. As with all pharmaceuticals, the ARVs requested must also be registered for use with the drug regulatory authority of the destination country, or they must be waived for importation. Due to increasing demand for ARVs, manufacturers are reaching their maximum production capacity. Supplies are not always immediately available, and clients should expect longer lead times for large orders.
