Da Nang - prescription medication

Post new topic

Traveller2024

We are spending 85 days in Da Nang and are unsure about bringing in Rheumatoid Arthritis medication and also strong painerkillers for back problems.  All medication will be original packaging, doc letter and copy of prescriptions.


When declaring the high amount (85 days, plus another 1.5 months for further travel after Da Nang) of medication at Customs, do customs generally allow the declared medication into Vietnam?


if it is confiscated, is RA medication readily available from the pharmacy, or do we need to visit the hospital for a replacement prescription?  any idea on prices!


any help would be appreciated.


thanks
