The regulatory position in Kuwait
Medicines in Kuwait are regulated by the Ministry of Health. This page is informational and is not an advertisement.
Ministerial Decision No. 9/2025, effective 15 January 2025, requires prior authorisation from the Drug Inspection Department for all advertising of pharmacies, medicines and health products, and states explicitly that this includes websites and social media. It provides that the pricing of health products may not be displayed without approval, that promoting discounts or offers requires authorisation, and that superlatives are not permitted. Penalties reach KD 3,000 and up to three years' imprisonment.
For that reason this page carries no pricing, no offer and no promotional description of any medicine. It sets out what the medicine is, how it is presented and handled, and which authority to approach.
We have not verified Kuwait's personal-import procedure from a primary source. Confirm the applicable requirements directly with the Ministry of Health before acting on anything described here.
