Where do you go to find hard-to-find medicine?

So I got a prescription for a certain medicine from the doctor who said I should be able to get it from the pharmacy down the street.

Needless to say, they didn’t have it and neither did the five other neighbourhood pharmacies I went to.

Is there somewhere you can go if you have a fairly rare prescription to pick up?

The doctor doesn’t have a pharmacy attached? That’s bullshit. How can he prescribe a drug that no one has? Unless you tell us the drug we can’t help too much.

You could go to Google maps, search for likely local pharmacies, and start calling them. There’s probably some kind of Taipei City service though, I’ll take a look.

It’s a suppository called Faktu.

OK give us your location.

東門

I use this place. They’re pretty big and always have what I need. I don’t know how to write the address, but just call them and ask if they have it. They’re in Taipei City.

Don’t need a prescription either.
