Title: Living in Korea and need meds
Post by calkid25 on Jun 22^nd, 2006, 11:15pm

Any other clusterheads living in Korea (seoul) and know how i can get a hold of Imitrex or something similiar? I just had my first attack of the year (after a few beers, it came on slowly then got stronger and stronger, finally susiding after 2 hours). Strange thing is it subsided as slowly as it came on. Normally they come on very fast and go away as fast.

Anyways, I don't speak korean, and I will be here for a year teaching, and would like some help on getting meds.

Find an English speaking doc (ask your students for one).

If that fails, contact your doc in the states and have him/her send a script (or have it filled and put a copy of it in the package).

I had no trouble getting my meds thru customs, but be sure you have a script in it. Just in case!

Good luck and enjoy Korea. I loved it there.

Korea and Kudzu both start with K. Coincidence? I think not. Lots of Kudzu in Korea.
