when i asked the pharmacist she said no need for prescription but of course it`s better to go to ur doctor first before u going to use any pills just to make sure what pills will suit to u..i had pills before and i bought that in phils but when i brought this pills here and showed this to my doctor she said i will not find this type of pills with the same brand here in qatar so i suggest to u to finish that present pills and then if it`s finish already go to the doctor to recommend u for another pills ,she will also asked u what pills did u used so just show to her ur previous pills..hope it will helps XD
