An international order for medicines !?!

[js302]

Hiya everybody,

I like and work in Uganda but am in London for a short while.
i work with livestock. i am not a pharmacist or doctor.

I have been approached by a hospital pharmacist in Uganda to a work on a purchase request.
Its an order of about 500 medicines and about 200 units of each - Acetazolamide to Zolitripan.

Can i just buy these over the counter - i don't think so ?
What other legislation exists regarding me taking them out of the uk?
What documents do i need to buy them eg. licenses or permits? -
Where can i get them all from? or at least quotes for them?

Thanks very much in advance...
...mods I hope I've posted in the right place - feel free to move if necessary.

Go to John Bell and Croyden in Wimpole St, they have an export dept and you could probably get some introductory commission. Otherwise go on line and search for generic manufacturers in UK. At moment Acetazolamide in short supply.
Various licences will be required, also letters of credit etc from your people. Best to let the experts handle this while you take some commission.
feel free to PM me if necessary.
