Bonjour,
Il y a des médicaments qui sont interdit au Vietnam sauf en cas de nécessité obligatoire de la personne qui voyage pour sa santé, donc il vaut mieux une ordonnance du médecin car ce n'est pas la première fois que des touristes ont des problèmes en arrivant à la frontière . Fais une cherche sur Rechercher des messages il y a des post dont des vacanciers raconte .

Quels sont les médicaments que tu souhaites amener? tu peux m'écrire en MP, si tu veux. Cela dit, il n'y aucun problème pour amener des médicaments pour te soigner.
Je me souviens que quelqu'un a soulevé le cas d'un trafiquant de drogues qui s'est fait arreter à la frontière du Laos. Il se fait passer pour un lombalgique avec des quantités de médicaments ainsi que la nature des médicaments sans aucune mesure ave sa maladie. Avec l'intervention du consulat de France, il était libéré mais en résidence surveillée jusqu'à la fin de l'enquete puis il a été reconnu coupable et mis en prison.
Pour le lecteur DIVX, je ne sais pas si tu vas en trouver à Nha Trang. En tout cas, au VietNam, les lecteurs de DVD coutent plus cher qu'en Europe.

Comme l'écrit Barbot, il est interdit d'importer des médicaments au Vietnam.Sauf ceux que vous devez prendre à condition d'avoir l'ordonnance du médecin avec vous.Et c'est très strict et très surveillé.
Le Vietnam n'est pas un pays en voie de développement avec des enfants rachitiques à tous les coins de rues.
Donc si vous comptiez vider votre armoire à médicaments et en profiter pour aller les donner sur place, oubliez.

Salut Babylone
Tout à fait d'accord avec toi concernant les lecteurs divx ( bien que je ne connaisse pas le Viet Nam ), il vaut mieux acheter en France où la garantie s'exerce et, en plus, la différence de prix est mince.Concernant les médicaments, il me semble d'avoir lu un article concernant un français d'origine vietnamienne qui s'est fait arrêté avec des médicaments interdits, selon la loi viêtnamienne, malgré l'ordonnance française.MEFFFFFFF🤪🤪

Puisque tu t'interroges, je t'apporte les informations suivantes. Pour que quelqu'un soit arrêté avec des stocks de médicaments, il faudrait qu'il eussse déjà été pisté par le service secret vietnamien. A l'aéroport de Tan Son Nhat, vous n'êtes nullement fouillé et en tout cas beaucoup moins qu'à l'aéroport de Charles de Gaulle. Il m'est arrivé qu'on m'avait demandé si je transportais des médicaments, j'ai répondu rien que des médicaments préventifs pour mon usage personnel sans que je sois obligé de dire lesquels et on m'a laissé sortir sans autre question et j'avais dans la valise (Doliprane, Ercéfuryl, Clamoxyl, Doxycycline et Lariam, Betadine) et je n'avais aucune ordonnance pour ces médicaments et pour ceux du forum qui me connaissent, ils comprennent la raison pour laquelle je n'ai pas besoin d'ordonnance sur moi mais c'en est une autre histoire.
En ce qui concerne le français d'origine vietnamienne, il s'est fait arrêté à la frontière laotienne, venant de Bangkok. Il souffrait d'après ce qu'il disait d'une lombalgie aigue et on trouvait sur lui un stock de valium. Je sais qu'en France, les toubibs donnent des arrêts de travail pour les lumbagos !!! On peut s'interroger sur la motivation de quelqu'un qui se plaigne d'une lombalgie qui fait si mal et qui va faire plus de mille km de pistes du Laos! Je ne serais pas fier non plus d'être à la place du médecin français qui prescrit du Valium pour des lombalgies....
Pour compléter votre info, bientôt une nouvelle loi va permettre l'importation libre de tous les médicaments mais je ne suis pas sûr qu'on va laisser les trafiquants faire leur besogne.

Salut Babyalone,
Tu as bien fait de souligner tout ça et oui entre ce qu'ils disent aux infos et la réalité ça fait deux, mais bon les gens deviennent de plus en plus méfiant à force des choses surtout si ils ne sont pas habituer à voyager . Un flash comme ils en ont parler ( tv et presse ) il y a quelques mois faut comprendre aussi les questions à venir .

La liste des médicaments interdits à l'importation d'usage personnel est déjà publiée sur VoyageForum
http://voyageforum.com/voyage/liste_des_medicaments_interdits_au_vietnam_D526630/
Je répète ma remarque: ces produits sont des narcotiques, des narcoleptiques, des stupéfiants, des coupe faims etc ....
Je pense pas que vous ayez l'idée d'emporter ces produits dans votre trousse?
Une petite remarque : vous amenez Efferalgan et Doliprane. Pourquoi le même médicament sous deux noms commerciaux différents?
En ce qui concerne le lecteur Dvd portable, j'ai déjà étudié la question et je vous ai répondu sans avoir précisé du matériel portable.

est ce que c est interdit meme avec une ordonnance
Avec une ordonnance portant votre nom, il n'y a aucun problème si la quantité et la dose prescrite correpondent à la durée de votre séjour.
De toute façon il y a 99% de chance qu'on ne vous fouille pas à l'aéroport.
Dernièrement, la police a arrêtée une personne avec un revolver et des cartouches, mais ce n'était pas dû au hasard🙂.

Hi,
I’m planning a trip to Namibia for 3 weeks in November: should I take malaria prophylaxis, which medication, when to take it, and are there any side effects?
At the end of my trip, I’ll spend 5 days up north near the Angolan border and in Etosha National Park.
Thanks for sharing your travel tips and advice!

Hi there,
I’m planning a trip to Japan next year and I have asthma...
I wanted to know about the regulations regarding Ventolin (Salbutamol) in Japan—is it considered a drug? Can I bring my inhaler with me, or do I need to buy a similar product in Japan?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

Hi everyone!
I have two American cousins. The older one was born in Paris, and his sister was born in California. The latter is planning a trip to Paris this summer, but she recently fell ill, and American doctors don’t know what’s wrong. I had the idea of letting her take advantage of her trip to get treated here, avoiding the high healthcare costs of the American system in the process. The problem is, I can’t find anything online about this—just testimonials from French people who used to be American, but nothing for a simple tourist.
Could you shed some light on this for me?
Thanks in advance.

We’re planning a trip to the Philippines from April 22 to May 8, 2026. Flight from Geneva with a layover in Turkey and Manila. Our itinerary: Angeles – Busuanga – Palawan…
The Philippines are a dream destination, but is it possible to travel there safely? I’ve heard that checked luggage often gets lost, tap water isn’t safe to drink, and mosquitoes are everywhere.
For water, what’s the best solution to carry in a backpack? Is a filtering water bottle 100% reliable?
For mosquitoes, should we treat our clothes with repellent? Are you vaccinated against hepatitis A, malaria, or dengue? Or is there an oral treatment to take?
Thanks for your feedback!

Hi everyone, next month my wife, our 6-year-old daughter, and I are flying to Thailand. It’ll be a great chance to soak up some sun—something we’ve been missing lately here in France! But speaking of sun, I burn easily, and our daughter even more so. I was wondering what SPF to get for sunscreen and whether it’s better to buy it there or before we leave? Thanks for your tips!
Hello,
We’re planning to spend 3 months in Madagascar starting in mid-February.
Areas: Mahajanga, Tulear, Diego Suarez, and Sainte Marie—the order isn’t set yet. We’ll either drive for part of the trip or take flights.
We’ve heard all sorts of things about required vaccines and medications (is anti-malarial mandatory?). What’s the exact situation for travelers?
I’ll come back to you for other topics (like finding a reliable driver, among others).
Thank you.
Best wishes to you all,

We're about to go on an organized trip to South Africa, including Kruger Park. We were told that Malarone should preferably be taken in the evening at the same time during a meal. But it's hard to know what time we'll have dinner, especially since I've read that in South Africa, dinner is usually around 6 PM.
I'd love to hear from people who've been on organized trips to this destination and could share their experience. We were thinking of taking Malarone around 7:30 PM, assuming dinner would be closer to 7 PM than 6 PM. Also, if the meal ends up being earlier or later than when we take the pill, would a cookie or a piece of bread be enough to take with Malarone?
Thanks for your replies!

Hi everyone,
I’m planning to set off on a "round-the-world" trip/long journey at the start of next year, lasting between 4.5 and 6 months. For now, the itinerary looks like this: South Korea (2 weeks) -> Japan (1 month) -> New Zealand (1 month) -> Argentina (1 month) -> United States (1 month).
I’m on medication (paroxetine 20 mg/day) and was hoping to bring enough for the entire trip so I wouldn’t have to find a doctor on the spot, deal with a molecule that might be slightly different from what’s available in France, or wonder if that’s even a possibility. Basically, it seemed simpler on paper...
But after looking into the regulations for each country, it’s suddenly way less simple . Many seem to only allow the amount corresponding to the length of your "stay" in the country... Which is a problem if I arrive in Korea with 4.5 months’ worth of medication, for example.
After all that, and even though I’ll obviously contact the relevant authorities in each country (fingers crossed for a response 😛), here’s my question: Has anyone here had any experience with this? (Even if it’s a different medication or different countries, any input would be helpful!)
Thanks in advance! 😉 Ananasas

Hi there,
I’m trying to plan a trip to Dubai with my mom. I’ve seen that some of our medications require prior authorization (sleeping pills, codeine, anti-anxiety meds, etc.).
I’d love to hear from anyone who’s been in our situation. A friend of mine applied to bring her tramadol, but it was denied—though she needed high doses!
Has anyone here gone through this process? Do we *really* need a prescription in English?
Thanks

Hi,
We just found out my wife is pregnant, and we’ve planned a trip to the Barlavento Islands in Cape Verde this November.
We’d like to know if there’s a real risk of Zika contamination on those islands, because from what we’ve found online, the recorded cases are old and come from the Sotavento Islands.
We’re thinking about canceling our trip.
If you’ve recently traveled to Cape Verde or live there, do you have any thoughts on this?

Hi everyone,
I’m starting a new discussion on this topic since there doesn’t seem to be a recent one.
I have several chronic conditions (including asthma and related ones), and I’m planning to travel for a year across different countries.
Generally, I understand it’s possible to travel with approved medications (which should be my case), but often with a limit of 3 months’ worth of treatment.
Since I’m going for 12 months, that means for three-quarters of my trip, I’d have more than 3 months’ worth of medication.
I plan to bring my prescriptions with the INN (International Nonproprietary Name), as well as the original packaging (even though it’s a nightmare, but from what I understand, it’s necessary). But I’m not sure if that’s enough...
Have any of you been in this situation before? How does it work at customs—do I need to declare everything that exceeds the 3-month limit? Do I need a letter from my doctors?
Thanks in advance for your replies,
See you soon, Bruno

Hi there,
I'm currently in Bangkok: How can I find a good doctor for a consultation? It's for a friend who'd like a second medical opinion compared to what they got in their country of residence. Any professionals you'd recommend? How much does it cost?

Hi there,
I’ve already visited quite a few countries across several continents, but I’m pretty new to Asia.
I’m planning a trip to Thailand in October or November, and I wanted to check about health precautions: malaria treatment, vaccinations (hepatitis A or others...). I’ll mostly be in the northern region, around Chiang Mai, where I’ll spend a lot of time in nature and the mountains. Then I’ll head south to Phuket or Krabi and visit Khao Sok National Park. I’ll finish up in Bangkok, with a likely detour to Kanchanaburi.
From what I understand, for a stay of less than 60 days, I don’t need a visa (I’m a French national)? I just need to fill out the TDAC form 3 to 5 days before arrival?
Thanks for your advice! Fred

Hi there! So, I'm hesitating about taking a long trip. I'd like to go away for 2 to 3 months and travel across several continents. I’d love some advice. I often have unexplained allergies and need to follow a daily treatment for my diabetes (insulin). I think I can get authorization from my doctor to travel for 6 months with the treatment—is that correct? After those 6 months, is it possible (instead of bothering a relative to send the medication) to see a foreign doctor to get another 6-month travel authorization? How does it work at the airport? Do I need just one medication transport authorization, or do I have to request a new one in each country (once the treatment runs out) for both the flight and a DCI? Also, travel insurance doesn’t cover chronic illnesses, so will I have to pay for foreign consultations out of pocket? I’m not sure if I explained myself clearly. Oh, and just to repeat—travel insurance doesn’t cover chronic illnesses, so foreign consultations will be at my own expense? Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi everyone.
After years of traveling to the USA without any medical insurance subscriptions—and luckily never having any major health issues (though I did get a scorpion sting buried in the sand at CBSouth, 😇)—life has caught up with us, and we’re now being forced into "wisdom" and leaving our carefree days behind.
So, I’m looking for the best compromise for a 2-month health insurance plan. I’ve read the discussions on this topic, but the most recent one is from last year, and I’d love your take on the current situation. I’m familiar with the usual options like Europ Assistance and AXA, but I’ve just discovered Chapka and Heymondo (the latter seems interesting in terms of both price and coverage).
What do you think of these last two? How do they compare in terms of value for money against the bigger companies?
Thanks in advance, everyone.

Hi,
We’ve planned a 3-week trip to Bali this summer with our 7-year-old daughter. The itinerary includes Sanur, Nusa Lembongan, Sidemen, Amed, and Ubud. The more time passes, the more we read about people getting sick—some with mild to severe traveler’s diarrhea, and many ending up in the hospital. We, as parents, have been through it in Egypt with pretty bad cases, but we’d really like to avoid that for our daughter. Even though there’s no zero risk, and we’ll be careful, can any of you reassure me? Not everyone got sick, right? I’d love to hear positive feedback from parents, but not just them 😊. Thanks in advance!
Hi there...
I’m traveling with a friend for a month in November.
We booked our round-trip tickets from Paris to Phnom Penh, and yes, I know—it was a mistake. We should’ve flown out of Laos, but here we are.
But is it doable to backpack through both countries in a relaxed way?
I’ve seen that the transport takes a while...
Thanks so much for your replies.
Hi there,
I’ve started looking into getting dental implants, possibly in Costa Rica or Mexico.
Do you have any clinics to recommend or ones I should avoid?
For the next steps, I need to choose between Cuba Medika or Medigo—these are agencies that help with medical procedures. Do you have any info on either of them?
Thanks so much for your help!

Hi everyone, a question for those who’ve been lucky enough to visit Raja Ampat—should you consider preventive malaria treatment given its proximity to Papua? And how was the food hygiene situation?
Thanks for your feedback! !
Hi there.
I’d like to know if all medications need to be declared at Uzbek customs.
E.g., antidepressants?
Thanks for your reply
For several years now, increased aggression has been observed in Cape fur seals.
At least 70 unprovoked attacks on humans.
It was recently confirmed that this is due to rabies.
The suspected origin is contamination in Namibia by jackals.
The contagion seems to be spreading.
Preventive vaccination (of the animals) is being considered.
Just a reminder:
Rabies affects all mammals.
Once symptoms appear—sometimes weeks or even months later—death is inevitable.
It’s the bite that transmits the disease.
There are so-called "furious" forms with aggression, but also forms without aggression.
In case of a bite, in addition to standard wound care, tetanus prevention… rabies prevention is essential.
Stay careful out there…
Seeing seals from a boat along the coast isn’t rare in these parts…
I need 2 dental implants and I'd like to get them done abroad (it's a question of price).
Thanks for helping me with my search (Turkey, Spain, Romania???)
Can you tell me if you're satisfied with the services provided by Dentist Miguel at Club Amigo in Holguin? I'd like to go there in mid-December. Is it worth the trip to get dental prosthetics done?
Thanks for getting back to me... Michelle from Quebec
