Pharmacies and medications in Camaroon

4 months ago

Where do I find information about what medications one can take into Camaroon if one has the medication in a prescription container (labeled script bottle)?
What meds are available to get thru a pharmacy, with or without prescription. I assume like Latin America, the pharmacy is the 1st stop for treating illness, maladies etc., not a doctor's office.
There must to a list of meds that are legal with those that aren't: I recall a case where a corporate big-wig was traveling to Japan and was detained entering the country because she was carrying opioid medications prescribed by a US doctor...not certain if they were in the scripted container or not, I didn't research the case. But if there are medications that are completely "verboten" in a certain country, its better to know in advance.
