I was wondering if anyone could point me to a website for shipping/importing medication into Japan.

I am on daily medication and may be getting an ALT position in Japan so was looking for specific guidlines. I know I would have to get some sort of documentation to import more than a months supply.

But how does it work? Could I just have family ship the medication over with the prescription label on the meds and they have my information in some sort of database?

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

See if it's available in Japan first. The social health insurance is cheap and covers a lot of stuff.
