Qulipta in Brazil?

Hi everyone. I recently moved from the US to Brazil and suffer from chronic migraines. In the US, I took Qulipta. It works better for me than Emgality, Ajovy, and the other CGRP meds I've tried. I know it's marketed as Aquipta in some countries, but it's not available in Brazilian pharmacies.

My question is: how can I access the medication here in Brazil? Has anyone in Brazil managed to import it for personal use? If so, what steps did you follow? The process with ANVISA is a bit confusing.

Any shared experience about the import process or other options for accessing the medication would be very helpful. I have a prescription and can get insurance if it helps. I have a prescription and can get insurance here in Brazil if that helps.

I saw that it it is available in Argentina, about a 2.5 hour flight away, so maybe I could travel there, get insurance, get seen, and get a 3 month prescription filled, and fly back? I don't know! Open to recommendations. Thank you!
