Welcome to Singapore! The best course of action for you would be to:
1. Check if your particular brand/type of medication is licensed for sale in Singapore.
– You can search the database of registered medicines in Singapore on the official government site here. Example of search result below:
– Alternatively, this other database search which is run independently by a Singaporean pharmacist is more straightforward to use.
2. After you’ve confirmed your medication is licensed for sale in Singapore, the next thing to do would be to call up public or private institutes to check if their pharmacy stocks the medication.
– I know it’s a bit of a pain, but unfortunately this is the only method to ensure that your particular brand of medication is stocked.
– For public institutions, your best bet would probably be ringing up the hospital pharmacies.
– For private institutions, you can phone the major pharmacies in Singapore.
If your brand of medication is truly not available in Singapore, the in-between ground may be that the pharmacist offers you another brand of drug, which contains exactly the same active ingredient.
