Does anyone have any information on getting CAMZYOS overseas? My son would like to spend some time in Japan, he has been on the drug for 18 months with an excellent response. I would need to get him an echo every three months there and ship the drug to him.

Im not sure about that particular drug but if you talk with his doctor he may be able to get a longer supply for the trip. I get most of my meds via mail order and I'm thinking maybe the doctor could send a scrip to a mail order pharmacy. I know mine is called Express Scrip. Its one the military uses so I'm thinking they may ship worldwide. As a retired military I'm pretty sure a moder country like Japan probably may even be able to get the medication if your son contacted maybe a local pharmacy in country? As for the echo I'm pretty sure even that could be done in Japan also. I know for instances mayo Clinic has provided medical services to foreign patients, so it seems possible for anyone to get treatment overseas.
As a side note I remember asking a travel service in Israel if being a Heart Transplant patient if it would be a problem to come to Israel on vacation if something happen could I get treatment in Israel and the answer was a Yes and in my case, Israel does transplants in TelAvive so no problem. I'm guessing the same is possible in a country like Japan also. Please let us know what you find out? it may help others deciding on travel overseas.

I found this article about this medication and availibleaty is mentioned in Japan here is the web site. https://pharmaphorum.com/news/bms-buys-asian-rights-key-growth-drug-camzyos
