Hi I know that this topic has been touched on a number of times but... what do you do if you don't have a prescription. I'm living in Korea where BC is RX free. So what should I do? I want to bring a supply with me, but I don't want to have problems with customs. Any advice?

Thanks
Amy

I brought a 12 month supply through customs with absolutely no problem. I didn't declare it and no questions were asked about my luggage (it was in a checked bag). I wouldn't worry about bringing it into the country.

thanks for the advice, I guess I'm freaking out a little. The move is soon but not soon enough so I'm over analysing everything!
again thanks

Bring 3 months with you then buy the rest in Korea. I bought a whole year supply in China for the same price as 2 months in Canada.

I bring 12 months' worth back to Japan every time I go home. Have never had any problems. It's legal to send up to 3 months' worth of medication (except narcotics) through the mail- I've had this done once. If you are planning on making a trip to Thailand at any point you can get it over the counter in Bangkok.
