Title: visiting india from eu - any suggestions as to what to send or bring back?
Post by: ardhanari23 on October 02, 2012, 12:39 pm
Hi all, especially Indian viewers,

I was wondering what you would suggest to send back from India. I mean things you can buy OTC there that need prescriptions here. I know tramadol is available (it took me a while to discover the generic name last time) for instance, but more recently I disovered an ayurvedic possibility, namely "kamini" which contains opium. Does anyone know if it's worth it, and if it is, how is it viewed here in the west, considering it is an ayurvedic medicine.
In the past few years the chemists have really tightened up on OTC  - valium for instance meets with a stonyfaced refusal these days... so I was wondering if anyone could tell me what you are allowed to pick up without a prescription and not get stared at like you are a junky (buprenorhine for instance - is that script only? Oxycontin? Hydrocodone? Codiene?). If anyone has the local brandnames I'd be very happy to know that too!

Thanks a lot

All the best
