Are common prescription medications available in Suwon?

Answer this Question

When we asked expats in Suwon if common prescription medications are available in Suwon, they wrote...

"Common prescription medications are available in Suwon. You can find them at local pharmacies, which are known as "yakguk" in Korean. These pharmacies carry a wide range of medications, including antibiotics, pain relievers, and medications for chronic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension. It is important to note that some medications may have different brand names or formulations in Korea, so it is recommended to consult with a local pharmacist or doctor to ensure you receive the correct medication. Additionally, it is always a good idea to carry a copy of your prescription or a letter from your doctor explaining your medical needs when traveling to a foreign country," wrote a member who made the move to Suwon, Korea.
