Shipping Prescription Drugs into Taiwan?

Has anyone had someone from the US ship them prescription drugs?

Is this illegal or legal? If it’s legal, then what do I need to know about what should be done/noted/included/etc.

I’ve had OTC drugs shipped to me before without any declaration or any problems in boxes mixed with other stuff. The box wasn’t even opened/inspected.

Note: the prescription drug is legal here and my Taiwanese doctor said it’s currently out of stock and probably going to be out of stock for a while, but I want it now.

I was looking at this website before I posted, and it’s not clear to me if this is for hand-carrying through customs only or also for shipping?
