Some doctors in Bangalore have been exclusively prescribing/recommending products from Fluence Pharma, which are clearly pharmaceutical compounds (all generic compounds). Since the doctor recommended, I bought it quickly because I’m dealing with a medical condition or deficiency etc.

However, later I found that their packaging (both outside the box and inside) has no detail of any composition including whether that tablet is 50mg or 100mg or 1mg lol.

Went to their website, again no mention of anything. Called the number on the website and when I asked to provide details of what I’m consuming on prescription by my doctor, they hung up.

At this point, I got really worried and stopped the medicines. I asked the doctor who prescribed these medicines to me, and he said I’m being a difficult patient. When I asked him that since these are generic compounds, is it not simpler to buy Cipla or whatever from a pharmacy in the dosage he prescribes instead of coming and getting my prescription refilled at 4x cost from his clinic every month, he said I should just “trust him” and his family member also got better after medicines from this Fluence Pharma company lol.

This doctor isn’t an inexpensive doctor. He charges 3k for consultation, has written and published multiple papers etc.

I find this doctor’s practice and this Fluence Pharma extremely shady. Is there a way to complain about them?

Thanks

Hi

Moved to Bangalore recently. Does anyone have any recos for clinics (based on personal experience) for injectable treatments such as Botox, skin boosters like Rejuran, hyaluronic acid etc?

I’ve never done any of these before. So would prefer to put myself in the hands of someone trusted and who doesn’t turn me into a frozen forehead 😅

Thanks!

Starting Botox and it’s a bummer that the first thing the doctor says is that because I workout regularly, my Botox won’t last for 6 months.

I’m going to go Allergan, estimated 40 units on my forehead, 11 lines and crows feet.

I am hoping this is not true. Don’t make me choose between looking younger (Botox etc) and feeling younger (with my strength and cardio).

Please do share your experience with the same.
