The website is up and running: the FIG Driada partnership will begin in 2026, as announced in THIS ARTICLE. This press release covers all the details, the reasons behind this move, and what will change. HAPPY 2026 To everyone!
Raw materials market conditions in 2025 and updates for 2026
If you are not up to date on general market trends, we kindly ask that you read this first THIS PRESS RELEASE, which had been widely discussed throughout 2025.
The year 2025 proved exceptionally difficult for the steroid and PED market and for the UGL pharmaceutical sector. Import duties introduced in the United States, tightened export controls on raw materials from China, and links found between API labs and the fentanyl market caused these challenges.
A severe shortage of raw materials started between late 2024 and early 2025, affecting Masteron and Primobolan. By 2025, shortages spread to nearly all raw materials, including testosterones.
Farmacia Italiana Genova (F.I.G.) has always managed this emergency by putting the interests of its customers first. As you know, F.I.G. manufactured, tested, and distributed its own F.I.G. brand products internally. Even in the face of shortages of certain raw materials, we moved well in advance to source the best molecules still available on the market, incurring extremely high costs without ever increasing the final price of our products. Molecules that were truly unavailable were simply marked as out of stock, unlike other operators who continued to sell products with incorrect or non-compliant contents.
Unfortunately, during 2025, the situation deteriorated further, and the only viable option to ensure continuity, quality, and reliability was to form alliances with larger international companies capable of ensuring greater availability of raw materials while maintaining adequate quality standards.
After months of negotiations, travel, and extensive testing, Farmacia Italiana Genova has therefore entered into a partnership with Driada: initially limited to the supply of products that are temporarily out of stock at our store and, as announced some time ago in THIS ARTICLE, which is set to evolve into a full-fledged partnership starting in 2026.
Partnership details between F.I.G. and Driada
We would like to remind our most loyal customers (who may be hesitant about this partnership) that we have acted entirely in the best interests of our customers to safeguard the quality and safety of the products we sell.
To ensure the sale of our products in Europe—and to our customers in particular—we have (temporarily) discontinued the F.I.G. production brand in order to focus solely and entirely on promoting DRIADA-branded products.
Important points to understand
- For those who have doubts about the quality of the production Driada, it is important to know that, as early as the end of 2025, our top production technicians have been working directly alongside the DRIADA production lines, with the goal of optimizing the products in accordance with F.I.G. quality standards.
- EVERYONE orders placed through our website THE FOLLOWING WILL BE TESTED by Italian Pharmacy of Genoa (F.I.G.) chemists in Europe, checking that items reach the 97 percent quality standard maintained over the years.
- The entire catalog DRIADA — that is, all Driada products available on our website — is offered at a LOWER price compared to the same items sold on the official Driada website or through other sales channels. This is possible thanks to a specific agreement designed to protect and benefit our customers.
- Many customers call this partnership a Go to Driada, but it might be temporary depending on market shifts. If the market normalizes, F.I.G. will resume the production and direct distribution of its products as before.
- IMPORTANT: Starting now, F.I.G. will handle orders from our website and database, process order payments, and handle batch processing and testing. DRIADA is responsible for production, SHIPPING, and LOGISTICS.
Advantages and drawbacks of the new arrangement
Advantages:
- A vastly larger catalog with the addition of products such as I, peptides of all kinds, and many other supplements.
- Much more competitive prices: Since this is a much larger production run, prices can be lower despite the shortage of raw materials; furthermore, thanks to an agreement with DRIADA itself, the products for sale on our website will, on average, be less expensive than the same products sold on the Driada website and other sites.
- You can place orders 365 days a year without the closures and restocking pauses caused by past external factors.
- Option to pay via instant bank transfer SEPA.
- Single-dose vials for injectable steroids alongside standard 10-ml multidose vials.
- Much faster restocking times and expanded alternatives for out-of-stock items.
- Safety Behind DRIADA’s well-known products are now the production engineers at F.I.G., with their expertise and guaranteed quality.
- Accurate tests: F.I.G. inspects every batch destined for our customers.
- Better payment options As for Driada itself: orders and payments will continue to be handled by us from Europe, and we can continue to accept payment via SEPA bank transfer, credit card charged to an Italian account, Neteller, and, of course, Bitcoin. Cash on delivery will NO LONGER be available.
- Option to sell and ship internationally: Expanding beyond Europe, we now accept and ship orders to Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Spain.
- Much more discreet and secure shipping: In fact, the packaging will be specially “disguised” to go unnoticed during any inspections or by prying eyes.
- Opportunities for promotions and discounts occur more frequently.
Drawbacks:
- Longer shipping and delivery times: Once payment is received and verified, processing will take approximately 3 business days, and shipping will take approximately 5 to 20 business days for delivery (sometimes less, but these are the courier’s official estimates). The shipment is trackable.
- Higher Processing and Shipping Costs: Because the packaging is of much higher quality (but also much safer and more discreet) and the product catalog is much larger, processing costs are higher. Processing and shipping fees have increased to 27 euros per order, partly due to the extremely high costs of importing raw materials.
- The mark payment method is unavailable because Driada handles shipping while F.I.G. handles payments.
- Since DRIADA now handles both production and shipping of the products, FIG’s WhatsApp chat is no longer necessary. However, you’ll still be able to chat LIVE on the website with an AI agent (chat button in the bottom right corner) that’s been trained to handle any type of question, or you can use the “Contact Us” form, and we’ll get back to you.
Summary of operating conditions
We remind you that:
- This situation isn’t ideal for many people, but keep in mind that if you want products tested in Europe, there’s no alternative at the moment. If things were to return to the way they were, F.I.G. would also resume normal operations, just as it always has.
- Please note that F.I.G. continues to handle the most “sensitive” aspects—the very ones for which you have always trusted us: orders, payment processing for orders from Europe, product testing, and production oversight.
- DRIADA handles order shipping, meaning F.I.G. no longer runs logistics directly.
- If you see other websites selling products that are currently unavailable on the market, BE CAREFUL: we have joined forces with DRIADA with our terms and conditions to protect our customers. Many fake, poor-quality, and under-dosed products are still on the market and still being sold on other websites.
