Reply To: Going to Japan and have some questions
Hi @ZombieRaptor, thanks for joining the forum!
I’ll look into the best options for Immodium, but in the meantime I wanted to comment on your other meds. I cannot stress enough that you read this page on our website:
https://www.accessible-japan.com/bringing-medicine-to-japan/What is legal in other regions is not always legal in Japan! I strongly suggest you follow the procedures (contacting the authorities etc) correctly so you don’t have any devastating surprises. In all likelihood you will be told your meds are fine, but you really should check first.
There was another thread on this, so you may want to contact the person who started it if you have any questions about how to do it.
