Can you bring Ozempic to Singapore?

Question

Accepted Answer

depends on specifics Insulin and GLP-1 medicines (semaglutide, tirzepatide) are not on HSA's Appendix A controlled-substances list, so the drug itself falls under the ordinary personal-medication rule: up to 3 months' supply with a prescription/doctor's letter and original labelled packaging. Separately, delivery hardware — pen injectors, needles and syringes that are not already in use on your body on arrival — may fall under HSA's personal-import-of-medical-devices scheme, which requires its own advance approval (apply at least 10 working days ahead, via a doctor's/dentist's letter confirming and justifying the need), capped at a 3-month supply of devices. HSA's medical-devices page does not explicitly name insulin pens, injector pens, syringes or needles, and only carves out devices 'already in use when you arrive, such as implanted devices or those already in contact with your skin or eyes' from the approval requirement. It is not clear from the primary source whether a traveler's own in-use insulin pump or GLP-1 pen is exempt on that basis, or whether unopened spare pens/needles/syringes must separately go through the device-import approval — this pass could not resolve that ambiguity from the published text. Confirm directly with HSA (PTM_Enquiry@hsa.gov.sg) before travel, particularly if carrying multiple unopened pens or a supply of needles.
