Low labour costs
So we are talking about production in India? In that case its explained. Wages are superlow.

But 37 bucks in Bali is almost a 4000% increase lol. Somebody is making a nice profit on Bali  :D

Yes it is. Made by a company that's been around a long time. I use Nugivil and have a script but I also use the ones from India and the are exactly the same. My script is 250mg and these are 150 and I sometimes like to take only 75mg so I just bust the 250's in half. My buddy orders them for himself so I always get a few.

Producing them milions at a time is ofcourse very cheap.
Why do you have a script if you dont mind me asking?
Does this stuff work with adhd like ritallin? Can Adhd people use it instead of ritallin?

Yes, I was referring to India.

I'm no economist, but I believe that Indonesia's gross national product is higher than India. Another thing could be the local market price of ingredients, etc..

It's prescribed for sleep apnea narcolepsy and shift work. Fars I know it's not allowed to be prescribed for ADHD. I get it for sleep apnea.

Often, adjusting your lifestyle is the best cure without side-effects. Cut all refined sugars from your diet and consume plenty of fish oil.

Fish oil helps a lot it really does. So does healthy food and sports.
It is not enough and meds are still needed but what you mentioned does help.

Good to hear, since most people with ADHD are pretty impulsive in their eating habits. And yes, exercising is also a great one.

Impulsive in eating habits? Might as wel be true yes because
Adhd peeps often tend to smoke, drink and do drug more than average. I do none of that. Also no cofee.

Any of you drug addled whack jobs done this stuff, if so, what were your experiences?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modafinil

I abused it for about 3 years... it's interesting stuff... with well timed doses you can sleep ~24hrs per week and still function at a very high capacity... it will cause issues with BP over time and sleep deprivation will shorten your lifespan.

Very wise. Well, I guess that most people are impulsive eaters ;)

I'm not saying that it can't be prescribed for an off label use but I'll pretty much guarantee that your insurance won't cover it. They do have a generic now. Before that a 30 day supply was around $700!!

Why is it cheap? Low tax? Is is manufactured in india?

Because unlike the US, India's med scene is not controlled and held hostage by Big Pharm companies. 

Along with the other reasons stated here.

But using it for a pre workout is not the best choice, It lasts long after the work out is over.  Now if you work out first thing in the morning and need something to carry you through the rest of the day, it is ideal.

For whoever asked  about other ADHD meds, Modafinil is milder than adderall, ritalin, and vyvnase.   (those three are nothing but watered down meth in my opinion).  You don't get the jitters and other nasty sides from it.
