Medicine in Malaysia a cost saving for some Singaporeans. Are they trading safety for price?
Johor Bahru buying Heroin
CNA Insider. The search for cheaper medication — and easier access to prescription drugs — has taken some Singaporeans across the Causeway. The programme Talking Point finds out the risks involved and whether buyers are really getting what they need. Talking Point host Steven Chia bringing medicines from Malaysia to a laboratory to be tested for drug potency. Indeed, many Singaporeans travel to Johor for cheap groceries and fuel. For some, however, it is something else that is driving them there: prescription drugs. There are risks, however, as host Steven Chia discovers. In Singapore, medicines that require a prescription or a pharmacist consultation include Lipitor for high cholesterol and Ozempic, a diabetic medicine that people also use to lose weight. Most of the pharmacies Chia went to in Johor — from independent ones to large chains — were willing to sell him these and other medications, including painkillers, with no questions asked. In Singapore, a steroid cream such as Elomet would ordinarily be sold one tube at a time to prevent side effects from overuse. But in Johor, there was no limit. It was harder to get antibiotics without a prescription — for example Augmentin — but Chia got some in the end. And one Singaporean whom Chia ran into at a pharmacy was stocking up on Twynsta, which is for hypertension. Essentially, the medications Ng cited were more than 50 per cent cheaper in Johor than in Singapore. Medicines can be even cheaper if they are generic drugs, which are produced after the patent on the original drug has expired. While medicines are often referred to by their brand name, what defines a drug is its active ingredient — the substance with an effect on the body. And generics are supposed to have the same active ingredients as branded drugs. Paracetamol is an example of a generic medicine referred to by its active ingredient, instead of the famous brand name, Panadol. Chia sent some of the generics he bought in Johor, such as flu, cholesterol and blood pressure medicines, to a laboratory for tests to see if they were as effective and safe as medicines in Singapore. And they passed the test, with potency ranging from per cent to The laws in Malaysia and Singapore are similar, he said. But he was not surprised to see that Chia could buy medicines in Johor without a prescription or without leaving his particulars. So you lose business — you may not be able to survive. Talking Point reached out to Malaysian health authorities to find out about their enforcement efforts but did not get a response. Even without crossing the Causeway, however, Singaporeans can get medication from Malaysia through websites that promise home delivery anywhere in Singapore. Chia ordered the steroid cream Tri-Luma — used for treating skin discoloration, itching and swelling — from an online store at almost half the price in Singapore. It is a prescription medication, but he still managed to have it delivered. When he sent it to the laboratory for analysis, however, it failed the potency test: The results showed But even with physical purchases in stores in Malaysia, buyers from Singapore bear some risks, Wang cautioned.
