Sadly, you’ll have to wait for those brands in the US.

> DSM-Firmenich has exclusive rights to market bemotrizinol in the U.S. for 18 months. It will be sold under the brand name Parsol Shield.

Well, you could have and still can buy them shipped from other countries on sites like eBay. Shame it has to come to this in the land of the free, however.

  • I guess I’m unsure if the FDA approval makes importing these legal.

    I also imagine that it’s not really worth doing just to get a specific brand in terms of cost.

    An 18-month exclusive period is annoying but not the end of the world.

  • Tpu were free to bid competitively to have exclusive rights for your company. What's the problem?
