I am telling you don't try to find lactase in Malaysia , if you are on the medication constantly bring along when you travel here , save you looking like a nothin trying to explain what the tablets are for and using sign language speaking to those who don't speak English , and in the end all would give you a blur looking , they don't even know where to refer you to get them . No kidding , they really don't know what are you talking about . At least we are honest LOL
The closest port to get it is at Changi international Airport , can grab some of you are heading to Singapore or transiting . The brand they carry is low in lactase , it's only 30mg (100fcc/mg) each capsule so each time you will need 2 capsules per dairy intake . A bottle cost about RM 55 ( depending on the exchange rate , which is so bad for ringgit now :c ) , only 30's capsules , technically only last you 2 weeks if you take dairy daily . Costly .
For cheaper resolution , try the website Iherb.com which I find reliable . Sometimes they offer promotional pack with RM250 you get 8 months supply , each capsule is 9000fcc of lactase , need not to swallow 2 capsules at a go . Perfect . But you don't get GST / tax refund this way and can't really assure the handling ( exposure to breakage / heat ) of the medication along the delivery . Cost effective but half half uncertainty .
Get it when you go to Japan / Korea , Canada / USA . The first you might have to bring along samples and a translator but the Korean pharmacies in myeongdong have their own translator in the shop , in Japan there would be Chinese speaking staff these days . Easy. Ok some say not to take Japanese and Korean medication because of radioactivity , then go for USA / Canada . No language barrier , cheapest price with most value , comes with nutritionist customer service , but happy flying for 20 hours and jet lagging !
