As for the cost of the medication, it will really depend upon what it is. The cost will not be reduced by insurance (unless you`re here long term and enter the national health plan), but in general the regular set fees for medications are pretty low to begin with. (Particularly when compared to the US *cough cough*)

Allright. Yea, 2k yen aint much either. One last thing, having perscription drugs with you when you travel to Japan, do you know anything about that? Who would know about such a thing?
In either case thanks alot for your swift replys, you are truly a resource!
