Hello people,

I have recently moved to New Zealand (7 months ago) and have just run out of my Asthma medication. The price over here for the same medicine Quikhale FB is vexpensive compared to back home. It is costing $140 each.

Does anyone get medicine delivered from back home? Is it possible?

Go online and search for websites that supply medication and deliver. You may be able to get someone from your home country to get it but you may have a problem with customs as the medication may be a banned import.

Have you considered asking at pharmacies if the is a cheaper alternative.

There are many websites that offer worldwide delivery, but they do not seem legit. They are the ones that also are offering to ship restricted items such as Viagra
