how to buy DMSA w/o Rx (was Re: Calling from Germany

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Yep, that's right-- DMSA is generally a perscription thing.

You husband got the standard answer.

It can also (somehow) be sold as a supplement, but this is

not actually done much (in practice). Below my name you

will find some further text on the (VERY FEW) places I know

of to buy it withOUT an Rx. (And, yes, I keep track!)

Someone in Canada recently used this info to successfully

buy DMSA. (I'm not positive which source she used, but I think VRP).

I don't personally KNOW that they will sell to you in Germany,

but it seems like they would. (Or, um, in Holland? I think

I'm confused. Perhaps you live in Germany but shop in Holland?)

Anyway, If you have any problems on that front, please let us

know.

best,

Moria

DMSA generally requires a prescription. You can buy DMSA without a

prescription from the

sources listed below. There may be advantages or disadvantages for you to

buy it by prescription

verses over the counter. If you have insurance that may cover it, you will

want to get it with a

prescription. Over the counter it is cheaper, and you don't have to have a

doctor.

Vitamin Research Products sells DMSA without a prescription. 100 mg

capsules: $40 for

45 capsules, plus about $3 for shipping. They do not sell DMSA in

doses smaller than 100

mg, so, if you need a smaller amount you'll have to divide it

yourself. Other Ingredients:

Microcrystalline cellulose (a natural plant fiber) and gelatin.

Contains no added sugar, starch,

salt, wheat, gluten, corn, coloring, dairy products, flavoring or

preservatives.

The Falls Pharmacy sells Captomer (DMSA made by Thorne Labs) without a

prescription.

A bottle of 45 capsules is $45. To order (or for more info) send email

to Brock Nyberg,

Pharmacist at: getit@...

Thorne Research makes DMSA called " Captomer " . They will not sell this

to just ANYone,

but they will sell it to any licensed health care practitioner of any

sort (e.g. nurse,

chiropractor, optometrist, podiatrist, pharmacist, clinical

nutritionist, homeopath,

acupuncturist, etc.), who could then re-sell it to you. (Note that

the Falls Pharmacy, listed

above, sells the Thorne brand.) Their suggested RETAIL price is $43.10

for 45 capsules,

100 mg-- I don't have the wholesale prices.

Thorne Research: (208)263-1337, located in Idaho.

Kirkman's will sell DMSA without a prescription, but they do require

verification that the

user is under a doctor's care. This verification can be phone, fax or

written note from the

doctor.

The problem may be importing it. If your country considers it a prohibited

drug import, Customs probably won't allow the package in. Worth checking

before you spend money ordering.
