hello,
I was wondering about the deal with medications. I have psoriasis on my scalp and i use sycrilic acid or whatever it is called. I am coming to Korea in August, my question is if i have the prescription with me from my doctor here can i get it refilled in Korea? as it's a cream it can only be refilled so many times would i have to see a doctor again to get him to write the prescription out to be filled or can i have my doctor back here write it otua gain and send it over?? how does that work? would I would have to get him to write it in plain hand writing and in a specific brand name or something so that the person filling the prescription can read it? (we all know how doctors write) any help would be greatly appreciated

You will need to get a prescription from a Korean doctor. Bring the one you have to him. After you get your medical insurance card, just go to the closest doctor's office. Most speak English well enough.

Have it written in clear English printing, not cursive. The doctor can look on the internet for it to see if it is under a different name here.
