Buying GLP-1 medicines by country
Find the regulator, prescription rules and import limits for the country you live in or are travelling to. Buying locally and travelling with your own pen are two different checks.
Is it licensed there?
Check the exact brand, form and use with the national regulator.
Who can prescribe?
Rules on prescribers and pharmacies differ by country.
Is it in stock?
A licence does not mean pharmacies have it or that it is funded.
Can you bring it in?
Check customs rules, quantity limits and the paperwork you need.
Some countries have stricter rules on bringing medicines in. Read the countries with special rules first.
