 |
|
| Hi everybody! My boyfriend and I just got accepted to teach at a school in Gwangju and I was just wondering if anybody knows if the birth control patch in available in South Korea. I plan to get a year's supply from my doctor before I go, but I was just wondering in case we were to decide to stay longer. |

| Yes, my wife uses it. A 3 month supply is 30,000 won per month. (I think this is a bit steep.) |

Myvlar is not a patch.
Do you need a prescription for the patch? What is it called? |

Yes, my wife gets a prescription, don't know the name of it. I will ask her when she wakes up. |

| Thanks, I can buy it in English no problem. Trying to figure out how to say "Ortho-Evra" in Korean will probably get me a dose of the Ebola virus! |
