My brother-in-law is Japanese and suffers from acute migraines. Imitrex/Imigran is not available in Japan since it has not been yet approved by the Japanese Ministry of Health & Welfare (approval is apparently still some years away......). However Japanese regulations allow personal import of medicines for private use. Can anyone advise how it may be possible to source Imitrex from abroad, preferably the U.K. where we have relatives who could send the medicine to Japan? Hope someone out there can give some suggestions. Thank you for your kind cooperation.
