Sudafed and similar meds are forbidden for import in Vietnam but I never read anywhere that this kind of meds were illegal
.there must be some local equivalents but I dont know the name of the products or what pharmacies have them available. If someone can help that'd be cool

The active ingredient pseudoephedrine hydrochloride聽 is banned due to its use to make meth. So any cold/sinus medicine without this will be here. Find medicines without this ingredient on WebMD and it will be here. It's easier to ask for the active ingredient than the brand name since Vn carries brands from all over the West.
