I understand that doctors and prescriptions are quite cheap here. Still waiting on my med insurance.
Just wondering if anyone has any experience/advice regarding whether an online prescription would make it past customs? (its not a banned med in Korea) |

I'm pretty sure you should have your medical insurance by now.
Do you have your Alien Registration Card? |

You can go do it yourself. You don't need him to do it.

As part of a "care package" sent from home they are largely ignored.
As a single order from some on-line pharmacy, they usually get stopped and depending on whether or not you need a prescription for it (in Korea) it may or may not pass.
Meds are CHEAP here. Just pop into a clinic, pay the 3000 won, get the script and get your meds at the pharmacy next door. |
