Hi, I'm thinking about taking a job in South Korea. The only thing is is that I need prescription medication. All my meds are there except Geodon. At least at the hospital we checked at that is. I'm wondering if I can get Geodon through the mail? Or another hospital. CAn anyone help me with my delema?

I think it's risky sending medication through the mail over to South Korea. Brink a one year supply with you if possible.

i can totally identify with this
i am on long term medication and i searched the internet and rang up the pharmeceutical company back home to see if they had respresentation in south korea...they do but the particular medication I have is not available so i just got my doctor to write 4 scripts (i get 3 months of supply per prescription) and she post dated them and go the pharmacist to give me all in advance since i was going to korea....
i am going back home briefly when i finish my contract to collect more as i think its safer and less hassle that way
It does take up room in the luggage but cest la vie

although it you have a note on the doctors letterhead with you customs will be fine and likewise if you end up having it sent to korea put a copy of the doctors note in the parcel and keep the meds in the original packaging otherwise it will look really dodgy
