Save IVF is aware of the significant cost difference between IVF drugs available here in the United States and those in other countries. IVF medication can cost several thousands of dollars if purchased in the U.S. This results in financial hardships for patients and their families. Save IVF has partnerships with various IVF clinics and pharmaceutical-manufacturing firms to save patients a considerable amount of money for prescription products sourced outside the U.S.
FDA Policies | Importing Prescription Drugs For Personal Use
The below facts summarize Save IVF policies that comply with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration’s (FDA) policies regarding personal importation of the prescription drug products manufactured by firms outside the U.S. and comply with good manufacturing practice regulatory requirements.
The FDA states in its regulations that patients are allowed to purchase prescription medication from international pharmacies as long as it's for personal use. To proceed with receiving their medication, patients must affirm in writing that the medicines being imported are for their private use or provide a copy of their prescription written by their U.S.-licensed medical provider who's responsible for their treatment.
FDA has a policy explaining that it typically does not object to personal imports of drugs that the FDA has not approved under certain circumstances, including the following situation(s):
- The drug is for use for a serious condition for which effective treatment is not available in the United States;
- There is no commercialization or promotion of the drug to U.S. residents;
- The individual importing the drug verifies in writing that it is for his or her use, and provides contact information for the doctor providing treatment or shows the product is for the continuation of treatment begun in a foreign country.
- Generally, no more than a 3-month supply of the drug is imported.
- The FDA does not object to personal imports of drugs as long as it is not considered to represent an unreasonable risk to the patient.
- FDA guidance states that international pharmacy ordering is done at the patient’s own risk.
The FDA does not allow importation from COMPOUNDING pharmacies even if the drugs are of equivalent quality to the U.S.-manufactured drugs.
