If you are on chronic medication, do not leave with just a few days' worth of medication.

Discuss with your doctor before departure.

Ideally, bring:

  • a reasonable supply;
  • the prescription;
  • the name of the active ingredient;
  • the dosage;
  • a medical summary if your situation requires it.

The French commercial name of a medication may be different in Vietnam.

The name of the active substance is therefore often much more useful.
