Moving to Singapore from UK... HELP!
Yep. Most doctors have a mini pharmacy so they consult with you, write what medicine you need, and then their pharmacy dispenses it to you - all in the one spot. If it is an unusual medicine, they will either tell you what pharmacy you can get it from (they will write you a script) or refer you to a specialist who will dispense it for you. Very simple.
Wow! That's awesome! Very simple indeed! That's one last thing to worry!katbh wrote:Yep.

Thanks a lot!

Do make sure your medication is approved in Singapore first! Singapore's approved formulary is considerably shorter than the UK's. Consult the HSA website.
