Korea allows bringing in 3 months of overseas obesity drugs

From Nov. 12, South Korea permits travelers to bring in up to three months' supply of obesity drugs such as Wegovy and Mounjaro that were legally prescribed and purchased abroad, Yonhap and Chosun Ilbo report. Previously, even properly prescribed overseas medications could not be carried into the country. The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety also issued a safety alert Wednesday over a rare vision-loss risk linked to GLP-1 obesity drugs, the Korea Times reports.
