Q: How can I get a perscription filled when the medication is not common here?

Does anyone else suffer from celiac disease and the skin rash that goes with it? I am trying to renew a prescription for dapsone and I am having a heck of a time.  The hospitals don't seam to have it since gluten allergies are not common in China. Any ideas?

I'd try any special medical treatment/purchases in Hong Kong.

 

There are few web links on Yahoo-gle for 'Dabsone medication in HK':

I have been feeling a little stressed and low due to some time sensitive work demands this week and then BAM!!!, Mr paulaecole, out of the blue you come like Jesus on a Harley and ask this question. I felt my IQ soar by at least 20 points in the time it took to read your OP. Thanks to you, I am now on top of the world and brimming with confidence. Thank you Sir!!

 

And before you ask....No, I cannot give you visa advice for working on a student visa and getting married to an ethnic chinese girl living in Quebec pregnant with your cousin's child that you intend to sponsor for a visa until she can find a better catch and get across the border to the promised utopia of Foreignerland, in addition, I cannot tell you where to buy batteries or get a massage (with or without a happy ending) and I don't know if the 022 bus goes to Shekou. However, I would suggest you take your own condom to Coco Park.

I finally tracked them down at a hospital in Guangzhou, but they don't want to give me more than a weeks supply. I have found out that it is a highly controlled drug in China because of the problems discussed in the fact sheet.  http://www.hkam.org.hk/publications/hkmj/article_pdfs/hkm0606p174.pdf   

 

Hong Kong might be the best answer. 

 

Thanks for the help.

A:https://chinabyteaching.com/teaching-english-in-china/am-i-eligible-to-teach-in-china/ 6. Age requirements There is no single nationwide age rule applied consistently across all of China. In reality, most Z Visa approvals tend to cap somewhere around the mid-50s, but how strictly this is applied varies by province and employer. Age is often more of a hiring preference than a legal rule. Kindergartens, for example, may prefer younger teachers, while international schools often view age as experience and are more flexible. Ironically, even ‘young’ and ‘older’ are subjective – some Chinese employers might deem 40 to be ‘too old’ to teach kindergartners! If you are at all concerned about age, it is best to raise this early with recruiters to avoid wasting time with the wrong job applications. At the end of the day, you should strive to find a school that appreciates your experience. https://www.gooverseas.com/blog/guide-teaching-english-china Requirements to teach in ChinaTeaching English jobs are competitive in China, and to teach legally in China, you'll have to meet a few qualifications:English proficiency: Passport from one of seven "native speaker" countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and South Africa). If you aren’t a native speaker, you’ll need to be a certified teacher in your home country with proof of your English proficiency (e.g. IELTS or TOEFL).Bachelor’s degreeCriminal background checkTeaching certificate: TEFL, CELTA, or teaching license from your home country.Authenticated documents: Bachelor's degrees, criminal background checks, and teaching certificates will need to be legalized and authenticated. This helps international employers recognize their authenticity. Be under the Chinese retirement age of 55 (women) or 60 (men) years old The qualifications for teaching abroad in China are strict, and teaching in China on a tourist or business visa is illegal and can lead to fines or deportation.   -- icnif77
