Diazepam and Sertraline (Valium and Zoloft)

W
#1

I would appreciate any advice regarding obtaining Diazepam and Setraline through a doctor in Riyadh. I will be applying to bring some in via the embassy with a Doctor’s prescription, but will only have one month’s supply. Can anyone advise if these medications are available? I have heard and read contradictory information regarding their legality and availability.

Both are available via prescription.  Valium, however, both brand and generic is experiencing a shortage nowadays.  Setraline is easily available and if you have a prescription, you can order it online............go to nahdi pharmacy website and see.
