      Dear Community members,

      I live in Russia and my cousin was diagnosed with melanoma 2 years ago. After two surgeries and series of chemotherapy the Doctor's prescription is Zelboraf, but it's unavailable in our country.

      Do you know if there is any chance for foreigners to get it from the USA, Canada or any other country?

      I would be very grateful if you could recommend any reliable e-shops, pharmacies, etc.. in your countries. Please advise.

      If there is no delivery I am ready to come and buy it by myself, still I need to know where and if it is sold to foreigners…

          My understanding is that you will not be able to purchase Zelboraf online without doctor prescription. I would try to call to one of melanoma clinic (dermatology) in Germany (search online, look at Charite in Berlin or some clinics in Munich, I believe). They have services for foreigners, you can ask your questions. Germany is much closer to Russia, so probably you would be able to bring your relative for a consultation there, obtain a prescription, and  purchase it. I don't see other possible way. Good luck!

                      Lenyusa, Zelboraf only works on people who have the BRAF mutation and even then, only 50% of people with the mutation actually respond to the drug. Are you certain that you cousin has the necessary mutation?
