Dear greyhawk5-ga
I have carried out the research on the company which is based in India
with an office in South Carolina. I note that apart from an email
address, no contact details are supplied on the web site. The web site
was registered in August 2002. You may need to consider the
information from the US Food and Drug Administration web site. Will
you receive the drugs if you order them?
My findings are:
Subject companys website:
No address. No names. E-mail contact only
Fax number 803-753-9707 - 803 753 is based in South Carolina
