| Is it true that I can buy birth control pills over the counter (OTC) here in Korea ? If so how can I know if I'm buying the correct dossage ? Some pills have more hormones than others. |

You can definitely buy BC over the counter there. Most of the brands available are European, and will have English websites where you can get that info and compare with whatever brand you're used to.
Mercilon is recommended by a lot of foreign women, including me, and costs about 6,000W/pack |

| I also recommend Mercilon - low hormone, few side effects (for me, anyway). However, keep in mind that birth controls are not supposed to be OTC, and some (though few) pharmacies won't sell them to you without a prescription. If you are refused by a pharmacy, do not fear, only go to the next. |
