Re: [100attendees] [100all] Bringing Medications to Singapore

[Bill Silverajan <[e-mail]>]

While I don't reside in Singapore, I'm Singaporean and I visit home 
often enough to be able to provide some pointers to some of the concerns 
raised. Sorry for being late to the party :-)

My visits to Singapore last a couple of weeks at a time, and when I 
travel with my children, I tend to err on the side of caution when it 
comes to medication.

In the past 5 or 6 years, I've not needed to declare any medications for 
long-term asthma (which include cortesoids, tablets, inhalers), 
painkillers, antihistamines, aspirins, anticongestants, lactobacillus 
tablets and cough syrups. When family comes over to visit me, they've 
not needed to declare any long-term medication for heart illnesses or 
diabetes either.

As a precaution, I do, however, often carry a doctor's statement about 
the meds (in case verification is required security or border control at 
any country, including Singapore), but I've never needed to produce it 
anywhere.

Regards,
Bill
