Several American friends who live in Taiwan have related to me that they are able to purchase - purchase OVER THE COUNTER (OTC) that is - drugs that are prescription-only. I am told that the following drugs are indeed also prescription only in Taiwan, but that the pharmacists are rather lax and do indeed sell OTC:
* Nexium - much cheaper in Taiwan than buying apples-to-apples in the USA.
* Lipitor - ditto.
Harold recommends that Westerners visiting Taiwan come with their pharmaceutical bottles or blood tests (showing high choloseterol) and most pharmacists in Taiwan will simply sell to you.
