I have a family member moving to China soon, who is using chronic medication. The drug is called lamotrigine. She was wondering if she should purchase enough supplies back home to take with her to China, or if it will be easy to obtain over there. Also, would she need a prescription? Then, if anyone can provide the name of the chinese equivalent ( lamotrigine/lamotor) that would be highly appreciated.
Medication available in China

Most pharmaceutical drugs are hard to come by.
You should buy your own supply before coming to China.
