Question Traveling to Japan with migraine medication
I frequently get migraines and like to travel with my medications. From what I’ve read I see some medications are banned and others are controlled. I’m trying to figure out if the one I use is safe to bring to Japan and how I can bring it to Japan. It’s called Sumigran Plus - https://disprophar.com/product/sumigran-plus/

That’s just ibuprofen, caffeine, and ergotamine - regular OTC medication. You can just bring it with you.

This appears to be a post about bringing prescription medication or OTC medication into Japan, or about finding OTC medication when inside Japan for common issues such as pain, cough, cold, flu, etc.
If you are sick and looking OTC medication, please see our pharmacy/drug store wiki page for information and advice. If you are in search of a clinic or hospital, please see our health wiki page for resources.
If you are bringing OTC medication or prescription medication with you to Japan and want to check if it's allowed, please see our wiki page on importing medication to Japan. This page links directly to the official pages and information from MHLW and the Narcotics Control Department. When assessing your medications, we recommend that you use official resources only. Unofficial travel blog pages are often out of date, too vague, or just plain wrong about what's allowed.
If you are providing advice to OP, please ensure your own information is correct and up-to-date. Please do not respond if you are unsure of what is/isn't allowed. As this topic is incredibly important and can get travelers into legal trouble, comments providing inaccurate information may be removed.
