Hello!

I am planning to order meds from an international online pharmacy and have it shipped here in Riyadh. My problem is, this medicine im ordering is Xanax (alprazolam) which is a prescription medication.

What are the chances that my meds will get seized by the customs, especially now that Ramadan is coming? I dont have a prescription for Xanax so i dont have anything to show the authorities.

I know ordering online is easy. The customs part is the hardest one. I cant go to doctors here because they might just dismiss my case and wont prescribe me any antianxiety meds.

I hope someone out there will help me with this dilemma. Thank you very much.

Hi Zen11,
I am an Australian Naturopath and I have sent medical grade supplements to Saudi Arabia and not had any trouble. They require all bottles to be unopened, but as far as your meds go I am not sure. The only way is to try once and see what happens. Good luck. ps. I have a great supplement that works as well as your Xantax, so let me know how you go. :)
