If you aren't looking for a specific brand than I recommend Mercilon. You can get it over the counter at any pharmacy and it's not as harsh as I hear some Korean brands are. It's more of a mini pill, I guess. I use it and have experienced no problems.

As for asking for it, you can probably just say "Merceelun juseyo". However, at the pharmacy I go to (my local HomePlus) the man speaks English.

If you are worried about how the pharmacist will react just go with your wife and wear your rings (if you have them). There will be no negative reaction if they realize it is for a married couple. I go by myself and have never had a problem.

Hope that helps.


i just go to the pharmacy and get mercilon as well. every pharmacist i have encountered here has spoken english. i have been using it for over a year with no problems. it is also nice to be able to get multiple boxes at a time so i don't have to go there every month.
