## Drug-class monthly ranges

| --- | --- | --- | --- |

## Where Mumbai patients typically buy GLP-1 pens

Hospital outpatient pharmacies in Bandra, Parel, and Andheri often price 5–10% above standalone retailers but offer reliable refrigeration. Compare written quotes from at least two licensed outlets before multi-month prepayment.

## Mumbai-specific storage tips

Coastal humidity accelerates degradation if pens sit in non-air-conditioned kitchens. Use insulated pouches for local train commutes.
