Pharmacies
There are many small pharmacies throughout Taipei. If you know what you need, many medications which may be available by prescription only in your home country may be available over the counter. Of course, there are still some medications that are only available through a doctor or hospital such as opiate based pain killers.
A larger pharmacy which is often suggested if you are looking for something hard to find is the Shanghai Pharmacy.

Needing some medicine at night, I called one evening to confirm when they closed and took a taxi all the way from Tienmu and found they had closed shop even though I got there 7 min before their closing time. I called them from outside but they refused to open up. They couldn’t have cared less. It was really quite despicable behavior.
There are lots of good pharmacies in Taipei, no need to give the Shanghai pharmacy business.
