Mielenterveyslääkkeet

Mielenterveyslääkkeistä en tiedä, mutta jotkin lääkkeet ovat kiellettyjä. Löysin vain USA:n kansalaisille tarkoitettua tietoa:

CONFISCATION OF PRESCRIPTION DRUGS AND OTHER MEDICATION: It
is illegal to bring into Japan some over-the-counter medicines commonly used in the United States, including inhalers and some allergy and sinus medications. Japanese customs officials have detained travelers carrying prohibited items, sometimes for several weeks. Some U.S. prescription medications cannot be imported into Japan, even when accompanied by a customs declaration and a copy of the prescription. Japanese physicians can often prescribe similar, but not identical, substitutes. Lists of Japanese physicians are available from the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo through its web site, from U.S. consulates in Japan, and from the Department of State, Bureau of Consular Affairs, Office of American Citizens Services. Persons traveling to Japan carrying prescription medication that must be taken daily should consult the Japanese Embassy in the United States before leaving the U.S. to confirm whether they will be allowed to bring the particular medication into Japan. Japanese customs officials do not make on-the-spot "humanitarian" exceptions for medicines that are prohibited entry into Japan.


Sinun tapauksessasi ottaisin yhteyttä Japanin Suurlähetystöön Helsingissä ja kysyisin heiltä miten tulee toimia tai onko jotain ongelmia odotettavissa. Suurlähetystön sivuilta löytyy sähköpostiosoite, laita mailiin mukaan myös tarvitsemiesi lääkkeiden nimet ja valmistajat.
