Where can I find info regarding bringing prescription drugs into the Philippines?

Answer 1

Travellers carrying prescription drugs should bring a letter from their physician stating the condition for which they are receiving treatment and the dosage. Those travelling onward to another country are advised that a separate quantity of prescription drugs should be sealed and declared again before departing the country.

There are no specific websites about this. However, all countries, including the Philippines, allow foreign visitors to carry a reasonable quantity of prescription drugs, which will suffice for the duration of stay and a few days more. Certain products such that have sedative, narcotic or hypnotic value can be a problem, even when accompanied by a prescription. For example, Unisom by Pfizer is sold across the counter in the US but requires a prescription in the Philippines. Xanax is available without a prescription in Thailand but needs a prescription in the Philippines.
