For example, headache pills or when you have discomfort in the stomach, intestinal problems, vitamins, eye drops. Even an aspirin which is freely available almost everywhere can only be bought with a prescription in Japan.

The amount of drug that can be purchased by a one prescription should be no more than for 14 days of treatment, in the case of long-term therapy - not more than 28 days. You cannot use it secondly. If the patient needs to continue the treatment then he should go to the doctor again and get a new one. Japanese doctors are not allowed to consult patients through email or phone.
