In a few days, my daughter will be going to Japan for four months. She was able to get enough of most of her medications in advance to bring with her into the country, and she has completed all of the necessary forms. Unfortunately, one of her drugs is an expensive specialty drug used to treat ulcerative colitis. This particular drug is not currently available in Japan, and her insurance company will only give her two months worth to bring with her. Since she will run out of the medication halfway through her stay, we will obviously need to ship the rest of the pills to her.
Does anyone have any experience with this, and what type of procedures do we need to follow on our end and/or my daughter's end to make sure that the medication actually gets to her in a timely manner?
Thank you so much!
