    Medicine without prescription?

    Hello. I have recently moved here from the US and need to refill prescriptions for Effexor and Lamotrigine (or Lamictal). Any idea how or where I can do this? If I need a prescription how do I go about getting one? Please help!

    Try, local pharmacies.( Not Watson or Mannings) Most will sale it to you, if they have. However should they insist on a prescription,then visit the nearest GP.

    Fanda in worldwide house is a good option if you struggle with other pharmacies. Ideally bring a copy of what you want written down. Expect to get it back unpackaged and without instructuions.

    Fanda took care of me today. Needed an antifungal med bc my cats have ringworm and passed it to me. Most effective stuff is by rx only in the states but Fanda sold it to me without.

    it is pretty easy to get overencounter medicine in Hong Kong. If you choose not seeing doctor, getting alternative one with pharmacies' recommendation will not be too bad
