Two Questions:

Back in America I would get ephedrine in the form of Bronkaid pills at a CVS/RiteAid. Where can I buy ephedrine over here?

Second, is there any place that sells liquid egg whites?

Thank you!

You're not going to get bottled egg whites here. I've looked in every store and every online shop. You could order them from the States, but I doubt they'd ship them over. Food through customs doesn't usually get through.

I've been drinking my 6 whites every morning the old fashioned way. Crack them in a bowl, lift out the yolk with your fingers.

And ephedrine? Dude, never going to get that here. Koreans consider that to be on the same level as crack. Besides, that stuff just got heavily regulated back home because it was giving kids heart attacks and such. Go all natural. If you need a boost, try a green tea. You can get that by the gallon here for pennies. I like a can coffee in the afternoon. One of the Americano's or Espressos. Low or 0 calories. Just straight coffee.

I plugged 계란흰자 into Gmarket and found egg whites and egg white powder(?).

You can't even get ephedrine by prescription. A friend of mine works for a pharmaceutical company, and he said it's highly illegal here because so much of it was being used to make methamphetamine. I wanted to bring back some after my last trip to Canada, but if I'd been caught it would've been very serious.

I know you can get Sudafed and the such here, no problem, but it IS a prescription medication, not over the counter.

Ephedrine is very easy to get here in the form of cold/flu tablets.

The medicine with the highest level of ephedrine I've found (26.25 mg per pill) is called Crecough. The Korean name is 크레코프 and it's in a green packet. This is real ephedrine, not psuedo ephedrine.

You can only get this brand from an Onnuri pharmacy 온누리 약국. It usually has as kangaroo logo on the window.

1. To find your nearest locations go to http://www.naver.com
2. In the search box type (or cut and paste this text) 온누리약국. Do this from home as Naver's GPS system will automatically pick up the location of your computer and will show you a map off all the Onnuri pharmacies in your area.
3. To get a zoomed in map click the 지도 더 보기 text, which is probably located below the map and to the right.
