What a Relief!

I have been worried about the availability of the medicine for my endometriosis, Dienogest.It's usually out of stock in the Philippines so whenever it is available I purchase one or two boxes. Since we came here in Korea, I have consumed two packs already and there's only few tablets left that would only last for two weeks.My husband suggested that we should see a doctor first so we could get a prescription, that way, we'll get a discount. There's a hospital a stone's throw away from our house, the senior ob-gyne was kind enough to prescribe Dienogest. Although the medicine was not readily available at the pharmacy, they ordered it from another place and they'll call us to pick them up. I did not want to order from Philippines and have it send here.It will cost and arm and a leg.Also, I was so afraid that if it weren't available, I might have profuse bleeding from skipping or not taking the medicine. Oh thank God!!

@Iam_jauntyjen is there a limit to how much you can order while you're there, or only the amount in the prescription?

I hope you get a call from the pharmacy. Yes, it would be costly if shipped from the Philippines.

yes, it would cost an arm and a leg.One box of it already cost 2400 Php + shipping fee which I think is more than 500 php .

Anyhow, I am happy that you are getting the medicine. When it is a matter of health we look for money. Don't do that. If health is acquired first money can be earned. But, if we do not have good health sometimes even the entire money of our families does not come to our rescue. Better you know that.
