E-drug: generic anti retrovirals (cont) --------------------------------------------- AZT bulk drug compound is made and can be purchased through intermediate agents for 1400 dollars american per kilo (43 cens american per 300 mg) from China. It is easy to synthesize, is made in several countries including Mexico and can be purshased from CIPLA from their plant in India for 1.23 american per 300 mg tablet as oppossed to 5.86 per tablet in the USA for example. If you want a person to speak with regarding purchase from inexpensive sources, contact John Ziolkolski at 617 266 0170. AZT is easy to reverse engineer and most countries with rudmentary pharmaceutical industrial capacities can make it. It was never actually produced by burrows. Burrows merely packages it in its research triangle facility to allow it to claim US origin and comply with GATT regs regarding country of origin. In fact it can practically be made by a home chem kit.
