Keep in mind
QHI is legally incorporated in the UK (as far as I know) -- therefore, they must abide by UK laws with respect to sales of prescription drugs to individuals outside their home country.
QHI has an INDEMNITY & DISCLAIMER form for first time customers that should protect them from somewhat from liability from selling prescription medicines to individuals in foreign countries outside of the UK. This is also a bit reassuring because I would assume if they are incorporated in the UK their management might be on their toes to some extent and use highly reputable pharmaceutical companies such as Novartis and UCB (where so stated) instead of what might be questionable cheaper international sources that might be lower in potency of or be absent in the active ingredient.
I did the I & D form once several years ago and that's it. I faxed mine in. This may cost you a dollar or something...but not so bad considering how good of a job they do at delivering the product line they do.
Here is a link to their I & D form.
Importing drugs from International sources should be your last resort -- working with a licensed medical practitioner and filling a prescription at your local pharmacy is the best way to go -- especially with controlled drugs that can get you serious jail time and fines if you are caught importing them. Modafinil is a schedule IV controlled substance in the US. It's all fun and games until you're locked up in a cell.

If you plan to take Adrafinil for longer than 3 months, make sure to have your liver enzyme levels checked periodically (ask your doctor for a CMP [Comprehensive Metabolic Panel]) and ensure they stay in the safe and "normal" range.

Testing of this product has been carried out only on elderly users. The preparation contains an active ingredient, which could induce a positive result in anti-doping tests for athletes. If you suffer from epilepsy, or serious hepatic or renal disorders, consult your doctor before taking this product.
Long-term use has also been associated with occasional instances of elevated liver enzymes, specifically SGOT, SGPT, GGPT and hepatic alkaline phosphatase. Thus, if you plan to use Adrafinil for an extended period of time, you should have your liver function tested to establish a baseline, and then after 3 months and again every 6 months thereafter. If abnormalities appear, reducing the dose or stopping the drug should permit a return to normal. [/quote]
Take care.
