Hi,

I am looking to buy Roacctunane or any other generic brands to this in Ho Chi Minh. I went to the University Medical Hospital in HCMC to see the skin doctor but the nurse said I should get it 'outside'. As I understand, Roaccutane is not sold in pharmacies. So anyone knows where I can buy this?

Thks.

I've covered this before.

Basically the VN government has a large 'book' called a formulary, or a recipe book of how to mix drugs.

In the West you go and ask for a name brand (or generic) and that's it. Here they reach for 'the book' and start counting out, or mixing, different types of generics that, when taken together, are the equivalent of the 'Western' type.

The government also subsidises medications.

Newer, 'chain' pharmacies are trying to mandatory introduce prescriptions and a few other things to make more difficulties!

I will PM you about Roaccutane.

hi I am currently working in HCM too.
Owing to business stuff, I can't go back to my country for Roaccutane.
Could you please advise me where to get it?

Thanks.
