I walked into a pharmacy off a cruise ship in Mexico and started to buy. Thought it was awfully expensive for just a few tablets and felt a bit sleazy so I left. Is it really safe?

American IVM. You have gotten your MX and India pills tested? I am not saying they are not good, I am questioning the "safest pharma ever" if they are not made in America. I have taken IVM, I like it, but I caution people to look at some of the stories out there about people who got Indian or Mx drugs. Especially antibiotics since they are probably the biggest thing people want.
I don't know Kathleen. I know I would prefer Israel if given a choice. I am sure we get lots of pills from other countries who have passed some sort of scrutiny (eyeroll), but not all online sellers are reputable. The quality may not be there and sometimes they ship out of date meds. Not that others don't mess up and sell out of dates, but...
I tried to get answers by contacting Sen. Casey (D-PA).
Received a word salad reply that they "will look into it." That response was sent to me on 27 March 2023. Sent a gentle reminder to Sen. Casey's office in mid-June asking if they received an answer from the VA.
Awesome that you contacted Casey. If you are still in for trying how about Chris Deluzio. He is a D from PA who is the Vice Ranking Member of the House Committee of Veteran Affairs.. He was in the Navy. Certainly he has some concerns about the possibility of vets possibly not getting quality meds. I thought we (meaning him) were fixing that mess at the VA! I'd mail a copy to Sen Casey. along with copies of the other notes you sent him - asking what it is going to take to get a response. You fought for the country(thank you). The least you should get is a response.
Meanwhile, Can you go to a local pharmacy or do you have to go to the one the VA tells you to go to?
I just tried to contact Rep. Deluzio on the website, but was unable to complete the request because I am out of his district.
The VA sends prescriptions normally from a central pharmacy (I think it might be the Hines VA in the Chicago area). The only way I knew where the meds were manufactured was because the original label was still on the bottle. There is no guarantee of where the meds were manufactured if a local pharmacy would just pull a large bottle of the meds off the shelf to fill the script. In a way, the VA did me a favor because I became more aware, and more alarmed, about where our prescription meds are being manufactured.
From what I have read, most antibiotics, or at least the raw ingredients, are made in China. And no one seems to be worried especially if Pedo Joe gets us into a kinetic war with the CCP.
Senator Casey is supposed to help.
They all have someone on their staff that is assigned military and veteran affairs (I used to work for a Congressman). When a request or inquiry comes in from a constituent, a letter is sent to the appropriate agency with the Senator or Congressman's signature on it. When I was working, I would give the VA 10 business days to give me an answer before I would start pestering them.
Senator Casey and his staff are a big fail...they just don't care.
"The bottom line is that it is not always easy to determine where a product is manufactured."
Well, that sentence doesn't inspire a lot of confidence.
The VA did me a favor by leaving the original label on the bottle of 90 pills. I was able to pull the VA label off slowly to keep the original label intact.
It showed the name and location of the company and who distributed it in the US.
When I worked for that Congressman, I was fortunate enough to deal with two really great liaison folks at the Pittsburgh VA hospital and the VA office in the Pittsburgh federal building that dealt with disability claims and benefits.
So when I write that Senator Casey's staff are not doing their jobs...I know what I am talking about.
You can buy it from a compounder willing to do it or your doctor will find an online drug seller who will sell the actual white pills in the blister pack made wherever is an approved manufacture for sale in the US. Like where you might get drugs you use on the normal that get delivered to your home. No funny biz. I got mine from both. I live in a conservative state and we had trouble finding a place to get the script filled) I went thru an FLCCC doc online. Bless him. The second one we got for my husband the compounder made (sold in a capsule).
Incidentally, you should take the IVM according to your weight and it will vary depending on whether you will be taking it as a preventative or as a treatment while infected. I think FLCCC can tell you the dosage, but the doc will certainly ask your weight and use.

Very safe. Do your research. Safest pharmaceutical ever!
Very inexpensive.
And..... it works.

The VA sends me blood pressure meds that are either made in Israel, India, or China.
Manufacturer label was left on the bottle.
Which one do I trust?

Well. That is most interesting. I bet you have some stories we will need to pry out of you ever time!
I wonder if you can find out where it's from by something on the bottle. Curious me will go look it up.
Edit: I love/I hate the internet. In this case... like a lot: https://advpharmacy.com/blog/2020/03/05/how-do-you-know-where-a-drug-is-manufactured/

So, where do you buy IVM that is American made?

Complained to Sen. Casey (D-PA) about the ones made in China. Word salad response and no action or answers given.
I trust Israel and India, but not China for meds.
