Good afternoon! On the official site of the Emirates read that the importation of many drugs into the territory of the United Arab Emirates is prohibited and punishable either by prison or deportation from the country .I always take with me a lot of medicine from everything, just in case (I have many health problems when coming to a country with a different climate), because in another country it is difficult to buy a drug without knowing the English or international name of the drug and without a prescription ±​​$ br >.Tell me, please, is this really so? And what medicines can not be imported exactly, and what can be, if, after all, such a law exists?

Responds Andrei Zorin, Unex company $ $
For import, you will need a prescription stamped with a stamp of the clinic with a clear name for the medicine in Latin, dosage, and also with Latin and Name names. The amount of medicinal product should not exceed the required, in accordance with the time of stay in the country and the prescription.
