To answer ricardo_MIA's question specifically:
From a clinical standpoint, Why I switched FROM US vendors is something I discuss with patients regularly.
The short answer: discuss this specific situation with your prescribing provider.
The longer answer involves weighing the risk-benefit ratio for your individual situation, which I am happy to elaborate on if helpful.
