Refunds will be issued no later than 10 days after the goods have been returned and deemed faulty.
Medical supervision using testosterone
Q. Does my doctor need to prescribe testosterone?
A. It is very important that the use of testosterone by either men or women is conducted under the supervision of a qualified medical practitioner. Testosterone has been used for decades to treat hypogonadal men and to a significantly lesser extent women with low libido. It is only within the past few years since newer user friendly forms of testosterone (like creams and gels) have become available that testosterone is used to treat a wider range of medical conditions. Clinical studies in women show that if used in low doses for short periods of time testosterone is well tolerated with little or no side effects. However because higher doses of testosterone in women can cause unwanted side effects treatment needs to be monitored by a medical practitioner. Unlike ordinary hormone replacement therapy (HRT) it is important to have blood tests before starting testosterone therapy and regularly while using it. Medical supervision is therefore essential.
In males testosterone use needs to be conducted under the supervision of a medical practitioner because safety factors including prostate screening via a blood test and a physical examination is essential prior to commencing testosterone therapy. Other factors including liver function and medical history need to be carefully considered prior to initiating testosterone therapy.
Legal issues
Q. Can I import prescription products into the U.S.?
A. Yes, provided the goods are for personal use. However, US law states US citizens are prohibited from the importation of controlled substances without the express authorization of the DEA. Testosterone is a controlled substance in the USA and we will NOT ship our testosterone products to the USA without DEA authorization.
There is a 'discretionary' provision in FDA policy which provides the flexibility for private individuals to import medicine for personal use under certain circumstances. The FDA General Guidance Section relating to Importation of drugs specifies that importation of unapproved medicines should not conducted if there is known commercialization or promotion to persons residing in the U.S. This is not the case with Hormone Solutions nor Lawley Pharmaceuticals. The FDA policy does make provision for importation of prescription products into the U.S. provided the product(s) is not considered to represent an unreasonable risk, the individual seeking to import the product affirms in writing that it is for the patient's own use and a small amount (usually less than a 90 day supply) is being imported and the goods used are being supervised by a medical practitioner.
Q. What about U.S. customs?
A. Many millions of US citizens have been satisfactorily supplied medicines via the Internet. However, US law states US citizens are prohibited from the importation of controlled substances without the express authorization of the DEA. Testosterone is a controlled substance in the USA and we will NOT ship our testosterone products to the USA without DEA authorization. An information link that will provide you with additional information is available below. You will read that the main desire of US FDA and US Customs is:
- to have control of commercial activity (i.e. the importation of goods for resale) and
- to protect US citizens from personal harm or financial risk as a result of involvement with unscrupulous Internet merchants.
Neither situation is an issue with a Hormone Solutions or a Lawley Pharmaceuticals order.
Q. Do I need a prescription?
A. Hormone Solutions does not require a prescription to supply products. Hormone Solutions strongly recommends products be used in conjunction with medical supervision.
Hormone Solutions and Lawley Pharmaceuticals complies with all relevant Australian laws, practices and regulations.
Whether or not a customer requires a prescription for a product they order is determined by the regulations in their country. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to check the regulations in their country for the medicine they are ordering.
Payment and Billing
Q. What currency am I billed in?
A. All prices are quoted in US Dollars and all credit cards are charged in US Dollars. Payments via CommWeb can be converted to local currency at the time of undertaking the transaction using the currency converter displayed at the bottom of the order page.
Q. How do I pay for my order?
A. We utilize the secure online payment services of CommWeb which accepts Visa and Master Card credit cards.
Q. When do you bill my credit card?
A. Billing is done at the time of placing the order and payment is processed by the secure CommWeb system. Goods are shipped and an email notification of goods having left within 1-2 working days of the online transaction being completed.
Q. Can you bill my credit card from outside the U.S.A.?
A. Most of the time we can charge your credit card without any issues, but some credit card companies block charges to your card that originate from a foreign country. Payment cannot be collected even when the correct credit card information has been provided. We suggest you contact your credit card company to notify them that you expect a charge from Lawley Pharmaceuticals, Australia, and ask them to remove any blocks on that charge. On rare occasions a transaction may fail even though there are no bank blocks on the credit card. If this is the case re-try making the payment and leave the 3-digit security code blank when entering the credit card details. For reasons unknown this usually results in a successful completion of the order.
Q. Will you accept my insurance?
A. Unfortunately no. Hormone Solutions and Lawley Pharmaceuticals cannot accept insurance. We will provide you with a medication receipt. Please contact your insurance agent for more details.
Q. Are there any other fees other than the drug cost and shipping/handling?
A. No. There are no hidden fees.
