About TokyoPharmacies Medicine Checker
Browsing a packing list, a Reddit thread, or a pharmacy site before a trip to Japan? This extension quietly underlines every medicine it recognizes and tells you, on the spot, whether it's allowed, restricted, or banned in Japan.
🟢 Green — allowed: fine to bring under standard rules, or sold in Japan
🟠 Amber — restricted: import thresholds, advance permits, customs-flagged, or not sold in Japan
🔴 Red — banned: no prescription exception, no legal path
Hover any underlined medicine for the verdict, an alternative that actually works in Japan, and a link to the full guide on tokyopharmacies.com. Click to pin the card. That's the whole interface — no popups, no interruptions, nothing until you hover.
Covers the medicines people actually ask about: Adderall, Vyvanse, Xanax, Ambien, Sudafed, NyQuil, codeine, Ozempic, Prozac, insulin, EpiPen, CBD, melatonin, birth control, and dozens more — brand names and generics both.
Made for travelers, expats, and anyone moving to Japan.
Informational only — not medical or legal advice. Always verify current rules with MHLW or Japan Customs before you travel.
