    I know BI manufactures OFEV in India but I have one question about buying it from there. OFEV is a biologic.  I live in South Carolina and it can be quite hot in the summer. I understand that OFEV is sensitive to temperature.  In the summer it is delivered in a styrofoam container with ice packs to keep it cool. How can a controlled temperature be maintained if shipping from India?

    I checked the price of OFEV from India and the full price is less than the co-pay I am paying in the US. My concern is in shipping. During the summer the specialty pharmacy sends it in an insulated container with ice packs. I am sure it would not get the same care coming from India.
