Are common prescription medications available in Taiwan?

Answer this Question

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

"Yes, common prescription medications are available in Taiwan. Most medications are available over the counter at pharmacies, while some require a prescription from a doctor. The medications available in Taiwan are generally the same as those available in other countries, although some may have different brand names. In addition, some medications may not be available in Taiwan due to local regulations," explained one expat living in Taiwan.
