Hi, I am seriously thinking about teaching English in Korea, and I know a lot of prescription drugs are available, but I was wondering about my drugs for hypoparathyroidism and whether I should just have them shipped to me or I could find them in Korea. Also, about transferring prescriptions for drugs like Zoloft. If anyone has any information on the subject I would greatly appreciate it.

Yes you can get all those meds on prescription. Why not just email the international clinic at one of the big university hospitals like Yeonsei to dbl check though.

As for zoloft - no probs at all, though a normal gp can't give out scripts for psych drugs and you'll need to book an appt with a psychiatrist. Though with that said, in the past I have had such scripts given by normal gps, so it differs from city to city.

Floating is absolutely correct--and Rx's here are very reasonably priced.
