Hi Spanishannie,

Welcome to Expat.com

Maybe you can give more details about your search and introduce yourself.

Do you wish to buy medication abroad? What diabetic medication are you referring to exactly? Will you relocate to Malaysia soon?

Thanks,

Priscilla

Hi Spanishannie,

There are quite a number of pharmacies in Kuala Lumpur area that dispense medication for diabetic patients. You need to bring a Doctor's prescription for your medications. Chain of pharmacies which are friendly are Apex Pharmacy, BIG Pharmacy and there are lots of other independent pharmacies around town.

Also note that some chain Pharmacies are located at shopping malls and etc. They may only cater to general meds. Specially prescribed meds can be bought at the counter of private hospitals/ clinics dispensaries. As for chain pharmacies you can easily find them at residential areas townhouses/ shops. All the best!!

Insulin doesn’t require a prescription to be sold in Malaysia.

I can’t advise on metmorfmin as I’m a T1 but don’t imagine it to be any different.
