What is the problem?

There are chemists(pharmacies) all over the place.

I meant imported medicine.

JWilliamson

Thats a better question. I usually have a family member mail them to me. JW.

Ok, so we should start planning to open a pharmacy selling imported medicine here.

JWilliamson

That can be a good idea. Hope you will be allowed to sell it over the counter. JW.

I repeat what I said before go to any Chemist most have a good selection of imported OTC medication, or pay more and got to the Beijing United Family Hospital Chemist or SOS chemist.

malaysian life is far simpler than you seem to think. You can get nearly anything you want in Beijing.
