"Yes, common prescription medications are available in Ho Chi Minh City. You can find them at various pharmacies and drugstores throughout the city. Some of the well-known pharmacy chains include Pharmacity, My Chau, and An Khang. It is essential to have a prescription from a local doctor or a translated prescription from your home country to purchase these medications.
