| There are many drugstores in Seoul. Which is likely to have the greatest variety? Personally, I'm looking for Eltroxin (thyroid medication). |

| Isn't that a question between you and your doctor? Also do not assume that the small drug stores do not have something. And another fact it is very likely under a different name here. So go talk to you doctor. You will get a prescription, then hand to guy at drug store. If they have it they will give it to you. If they do not you will likely get the arm crossed X. |

Eltroxin is NOT available in South Korea.
Tablets containing the same ingredient (Levothyroxine sodium) are sold under the name '씬지로이드(Synthyroid)' by Bukwang Pharmaceutical.
You need a prescription to pick it up, and even the largest pharmacy in Seoul won't simply sell it over-the-counter. |
