Does anyone know where I can purchase Naltrexone in Vietnam?聽 I haven't been able to find it in the Central area but I'm willing to make the trip to a larger city if I聽 can find it.聽 I can have it sent from USA but it takes a while and I'm always a bit hesitant to ship medications through customs.

I was prescribed this by my doctor in USA after realizing I was drinking too heavily (Life of an expat). It reduces cravings by blocking the receptors.聽 A pill before I go out drinking and I lose my desire to have more than one or two drinks.聽聽It's been pretty amazing for me.

This maybe helpful. Closest countries I see are Hong Kong and Indo.

Hi! I'm with you on this.聽 Also looking to fill a Naltrexone prescription.聽 Before I could find a US doctor to prescribe it, I ordered it online from some company in India.聽聽

I've only been in Da Nang Vietnam for a few months but I'm already running into some mail issues (both with sending post cards out and with receiving mail from the states).聽 So I'm hesitant to spend 100s on a medication that might not get to me.

VNPost is where all problems lie.聽 If you use UPS, FedEx, or DHL, you wouldn't have to worry about lost packages.
