SouthAfricanPharmacy.com
Status: ActiPatch available and listed as OTC.
Shipping: Offers worldwide delivery, including to the UK, EU, and Australia.

New Retailer: Now handling the OTC Powered by ActiPatch line.
Product Range:
Shoulder
Lower Back
Elbow
Thigh
Knee

Replacement ActiPatch
Shipping: Available to UK and US, but shipping costs are high (more economical to buy in bulk).
Positioning: Marketed as OTC, which may ease import restrictions.
Regulatory Considerations
CE Mark Expired: BIEL’s CE mark lapse means ActiPatch can’t be sold through regulated EU/UK channels.
Personal Import: Consumers can still order directly from international retailers, assuming responsibility for customs clearance.
