Sorry, it took a while to get back to you.
The prescription must be from a doctor in Japan, which means you will not be able to get your medicine with a prescription from your country and you’ll have to go through a doctor’s consultation in Japan in order to get your medicine prescribed. If the medicine is sold as an OTC drug in Japan you might be able to find it at the drug store. (Consult a pharmacist to check if it is generally sold as an OTC drug or not.)

Hi can u please explain what a Class 2 Drug in Japan means? I bought what I thought was a supplement but my Japanese husband said it's a drug. But the ingredients are just supplements. I'm talking about the Femeal White. It's got Vitamin C 1000 mg L-cysteine 250 mg vitamin E and vitamins B 2 and 6. These don't sound like a drug to me please clarify
