Where can I buy Claritin in Japan?

Question:


And how do I ask for it? I have allergies to pretty much everything in existance with scent, perfume, smoke, dust, pollen, scented soap, flowers.... and the list goes on. My doctor (in the states) told me to take Claritin, or the generic equivalent, but wouldn't sign off on the paperwork for me to be able to take a years supply with me to Japan. Now, I'm running out, and can't find more. Help!

Answer:


Claritin is the brand name of the product.

The actual medicine is called Loratadine. In Japan it is a prescription drug, so all you need to do is go to a doctor in Japan, tell them about your allergies and that you need a prescription for ロラタジン (Loratadine).
