Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Epilepsy / June 2009Wanting to travel next year, I need advice
Hi all, I'm trisha and new here. But I'm wondering if anyone can point out to me if I am able to travel to new zealand and oz next year with my lamotrigne tablets and be able to get access to them there if they existed there. Many thanks, all, Trisha. > Hi all, I'm trisha and new here.

All I can tell you is to ask for the generic names whenever you're abroad. It is possible that another country or manufacturer has grabbed the name Lamictal Okay, many thanks for that.

We also had 2-3 members posting from Australia and New Zealand, but don't know if they're still reading the group or not. You might want to keep watch here periodically in case Pablo or some of the Others are reading it less often. (The trash and other stuff with people w.o. epilepsy dropped our 'membership' from more than 40 people in about 10 timezones, to 3-4 before December last. So I don't know if some stayed subscribed but just aren't reading as often or not.) Is there a Local Chapter of an Epilepsy Association near where you live? They might have a www address for you of their Partner organization in New Zealand and Australia who you could email too, to see what you'd need to get prescriptions filled there, and if they carry what you're using. (I would expect you might need a local Doctor there? to write a script for you, as I doubt another country's pharmacy might accept an e.g. Canadian Prescription script. But I'm not sure about that.) Perhaps our helpful Doctor who reads this group from time to time can help us with that (i.e. would Australia accept a U.S. or Canada, etc. prescription note? ) G./ Hi, well I think I did a lil research and it seems that Aus and New Zealand does do my medication and it does come under a different name, but is almost spelled exactly like Lamotringe. So am confident that they do my tablets out there, but as you said. I'd have to sign up to a locum doctor for repeat perscriptions especially as I be planning my trip for up to 12months. I did get an email off someone via this site personally and they have helped me more. So I thank u to that person. Thanks for all your help, Trisha. This is an interesting question. I travelled into the US from Canada with enough Lamictal on me for the duration of my stay. I guess if they had really searched my luggage I would have been in a tough place to explain it to them without carrying my prescription. Do you think your neurologist would have some solution for you? Best of luck. > Hi, > well I think I did a lil research and it seems that Aus and New [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Thanks for all your help, Trisha. > This is an interesting question.

Hi J, I don't think my neurologist would have a solution for me. I did find out that a UK Dr can do you perscriptions but i think it was only for up to 3 months. But all in a good wise idea, like my australia friend has also said. Get a locum Dr cos it be so much easier. The insurance companies depending on which one you choose, can also help you with the medical perscriptions costs. So getting it right before I leave the UK is a must and talking it through with my neurologist. Thanks, Trisha |
