Buying Fiasp outside the US

Treatment Insulin
1

Has anybody had any experience purchasing Fiasp in Mexico or Canada? If so, could you share how much it cost and where exactly you got it? I regularly buy insulin in Tijuana and have recently been enjoying a Fiasp sample my Endo gave me, but I’m 100% confident my insurance will deny it. I haven’t been able to find anything about Fiasp’s availability in Mexico, though I’ve seen a website or two selling it via mail in Canada. Thanks for the tips!

I buy FiASP regularly at my neighbourhood pharmacy.

I walk in and ask for a vial

$36 Canadian (no fuss, no muss)

That is about $26.62 in US currency

I’ve read many favorable comments about international mail-order purchase of insulin from this pharmacy in Vancouver, B.C. I haven’t purchased any insulin there myself. I think it will cost you a bit more than @Jimi63 reports.

I order my Fiasp from Canada. I get 9 vials at a time, around $500 shipped to my door.

I recently ordered Fiasp from this pharmacy at about USD 70/vial. Good service and reliable. I haven’t price shopped so there may well be less expensive options. I’ve also ordered an epilepsy med from them multiple times so I went to them for insulin because I know they’re honest and reliable.

I drive to Canada to pick up my insulin as I can leave my house at 6:45 AM and arrive at the pharmacy located right at the border by the time they open at 9 AM, buy my insulin and be back home before lunch. That is the best way to get the low prices, as quoted by Jim. Ordering by mail is certainly quite a bit more expensive and risky, but a necessary convenience for some.

I am keeping a close eye on Amazon since they bought Pillpack earlier this year as I believe that the pharmacy business for Amazon will be huge and drive prices down to where they are competitive with other countries.

Last year I checked about Fiasp in Mexico, and found out it is not available there. I buy my Fiasp in Canada—it was about $97US for two boxes of pens (total of 10 pens) from Costco in BC.
