This has been quite a source of frustration and worry for us. A prescription is required for Similiac Alimentum here in Singapore. There are constantly ISLAND WIDE shortages of this formula! Additionally, only the ready made bottles are available here in Singapore (946ml). I have resorted to ordering it from overseas and having it shipped here. That way I am able to order the powdered formula in the cans which is a little easier to carry around here in the heat:)
The alternate hypoallergenic formula available here is Neocate. A bit pricier but does not require a prescription and is available in the cans of powdered formula. I've only found this at KK hospital so far and have only had to pick up a few cans here or there. You can ask your pediatrician if they know a way to order Neocate in larger quantities here in Singapore. Hope this helps and good luck!
