E-DRUG OZEX and TOSUXACIN (Response from Japan)

 This is Japan Poison Information Center.

> 1 - OZEX (R), manufactured by Toyama, and
> 2 - TOSUXACIN (R), manufactured by Daianabot.

  Strictly speaking, this anti-bacterial drug is not OTC in Japan,
you will not be able to buy it at any pharmacy, unless you have
the prescription that you were given by a physician.

  But there are cases that you can buy it without the prescription,
because Japanese Pharmaceutical Affairs Law does not forbid the
pharmacy to sell it.

  I hope this infromation is helpful to you.
                      Sincerely yours,
                           Kyoko Goto
