I am thinking of taking senior work position in Qatar. I am UK citizen and take seroxat (paroxetine) as prescription medicine. Am I allowed to bring this into Qatar? I am not sure how this medicine is viewed within Qatar as a country.Any advice please?
thanks

I wonder what happened with your travel? Were you able to bring your prescription with you? I know it is so important to check if the country that you are going to will allow you to take some medications with you, better ask first before traveling. phentermine 37.5

You shouldn't have any problems with those type of meds. My advice is to find out what the prescription prices are in Qatar so you will know either to get a stock pile from home or buy them from Qatar. I suggest the first option at least until you see if you can find them there.

you will have no problems, don't worry about it.

Get a stockpile in the UK as a prescription there is a shed load cheaper than paying the retail price.

It's fine to bring these drugs in as long as you have a copy of the prescription but, yes, you can buy it over the counter anyway.

It is classified as an anti-depressant type drug. I suppose my question is ,is it legal for me to bring it as a prescription into Qatar.

thanks

As far as I know it is for sale in the pharmacy with no prescription but some drugs have recently been regulated. Next time I go I will have a look. If it is available it shouldn't be difficult to get a physician to prescribe if you had to but bring a good supply with you as you never know when things change here.

I don't exactly know what type of medicine you have mentioned. Just a piece of advice, bring your prescription with you.

Here in Qatar, you can not buy antibiotics without the prescription.
