Before you buy a OTC Medicines & Health Goods

  • Check the classification on the package first: Class 1 OTC drugs (e.g. ロキソニンS / Loxonin S) can only be bought while a pharmacist is on duty and after hearing their explanation, and some stores limit quantities; Class 2 and Class 3 can be picked freely. More ›
  • Most combination cold medicines such as パブロン (Pabron) and ルル (Lulu) contain dl-methylephedrine or dihydrocodeine. Buy only a personal-use quantity to take home, and keep the original package and insert. More ›

  • From November 1, 2026, Japan's tax-free system changes to paying tax first and getting a refund after confirmation at departure. Drugstore items no longer need sealed bags, but keep your purchase records. More ›
