I have considered this. While many people worship regulations, I'm willing to take the "risk" of using foreign medication.

I wish I could take the same risk when I get hydrocortisone, but instead I need to pay a physician for a prescription, a pharmacist to fill, and the clinic that stores everything.

Lots of middlemen for something that should be sold on Amazon.

Is this hydrocontisone stronger than the over the counter variety?
1% is OTC strength, it can be prescribed at 2.5% which I believe requires a consult with some kind of medical professional in most countries.
