Is Sertraline / Zoloft Otc?

We are moving to Manila in December and my son takes zoloft (sertraline is the generic name) for a mental condition.  Does anyone know if zoloft is available over the counter at local pharmacies there?  I can get it OTC here in Thailand and if it's not OTC in Phils, I'll stock up on a couple of months to bring over when we move.

It might take me a little while to find a good pediatric psychiatrist once we're in Manila, so I want to be sure that I have his meds covered in the meantime. 

 

Thanks!

I wanted to give a full answer but I can't.

Sertraline the generic name of Zoloft is not on the current list of drugs available at Generics Pharmacy,the largest such franchise in the Philippines.

I notice that Zoloft is available at Mercury Drug. But I don't know if it's by Rx, prescription or not. I will be dropping by there next week, will ask.
