Importing Medicines
Frequently Asked Questions
I have found an overseas website advertising a prescription medicine.
Can I order it?
It is illegal to import a prescription medicine without reasonable excuse.
If you wish to import this medicine you will need to provide Medsafe with an
original signed prescription or letter from a New Zealand doctor.
The quantity must not exceed 3 months supply for prescription medicines (with the exception of oral contraceptives which can be supplied in 6 months quantities)
