I'm going travelling to Central America and South East Asia for about 9 months - 1 year. I'm starting to worry about how I'll get my meds?

I know my doctor can only prescribe 3 months worth. Can I get it over there? how do I do that? Will it cost me?

Hi jessie87

You need to discuss this with your GP, who will able to help you make a plan. You also need to make sure that it is legal to bring your medication into the countries you are travelling to. The following information links should be helpful:
