Guide
Medicine names, strengths, availability, and prescription rules vary across countries. Current prescriptions and original packaging help doctors review your history. They do not guarantee the same brand, strength, or supply in China.
SinoCareHub can organize records and communicate through the hospital's process. We do not prescribe, dispense, or ship medicines. Qualified doctors, pharmacists, and medical institutions decide diagnosis, prescribing, substitutions, and dispensing.
01
Prepare a clear medication list before travel
List each medicine's generic and brand names, strength, form, schedule, and start date. Add recent changes, allergies, and the reason for use. Include your current prescription, package labels, and relevant records. Do not stop, reduce, or switch medicines on your own before travel.
- Generic name, brand, strength, and dosage form
- Current prescription, original packaging, and labels
- Reason for use, allergies, and recent changes
- Relevant reports and a concise medical summary
02
Let the hospital confirm whether an in-person visit is needed
Hospitals may review your condition, tests, current medicines, and local process. They may clarify whether they can offer an appointment or further assessment. A remote opinion, record review, and formal prescription are different services. Treat no medicine arrangement as confirmed until the hospital states it clearly.
03
Can I use my current prescription in China?
Not automatically. The hospital may review your current prescription and records. A licensed doctor decides whether a prescription is appropriate. A qualified pharmacist reviews and dispenses it under the applicable process. Requirements vary by medicine, hospital, and visit format.
04
Confirm availability and alternatives one medicine at a time
The same active ingredient can come in different brands, strengths, forms, and stock levels. A doctor or pharmacist must approve any substitution or dose change. Ask early about medicines needing cold storage, special controls, or ongoing treatment.
05
Plan personal medicines and post-visit care separately
Keep medicines in original packaging with the prescription and clinician's note. Check current rules with your airline, entry point, and destination. Do not assume a China prescription can be refilled abroad. Do not assume a hospital can ship medicines overseas. Before leaving, confirm instructions, follow-up timing, warning signs, and local care contacts.
