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

"Yes, common prescription medications are available in New Zealand. These medications are typically dispensed by a pharmacist after a prescription is written by a doctor. The medications available in New Zealand are regulated by the Ministry of Health and the Medicines Act 1981. The medications available in New Zealand are generally the same as those available in other countries, although some medications may not be available due to local regulations," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to New Zealand.
