Key takeaways

  • A genuine supplier will always ask for a prescription for Sofosbuvir.
  • Certificate of analysis, batch number and expiry must be verifiable.
  • Prices far below market usually indicate falsified or diverted stock.
  • Wholesale buyers should verify GMP status and the manufacturing licence.
