Agoda Thailand can be contacted by phone at 02-016-4101

The purchase was illegal to begin with since (1) by law requires a prescription and (2) the vendor was nto a licensed pharmacy. Mailing it to yourself per se is not illegal but if the contents got any scrutiny the above 2 factors might cause a problem.

IF a special card can be obtained would be worth having and keeping in your wallet at all times IMO in case you are in an emergency and need to be hospitalized elsewhere under the "72 hour emergency" scheme as they otherwise tend to assume foreigners are not covered by SS.

These drugs were not "removed", the pharmacies which stock them normally ran out due to a surge in buying by people misled by COVID misinformation. (these drugs are not common items so only larger pharmacies had them to begin with). As the main purpose of this thread seems to be the spreading of COVID misinformation. it is closed.

Rutnin, Absoutely. In particular these doctosr who specialize in glaucome https://www.rutnin.com/en/doctor/detail.7.1_Search by name_7_0.html#thumb https://www.rutnin.com/en/doctor/detail.32.1_Search by name_7_0.html#thumb

I believe they have stopped issuing cards. But wait to hear from others who enrolled recently.

Thread is full of incorrect and trolling statements. Claims made about the vaccines were science based and never said things like "completely prevent transmission". It was always "decrease the risk of severe disease and death by X%". Which they did, quite effectively and saving millions of lives. Closed.

What is expensive is the imported single pill combination. Would likely save money buying the 2 drugs separately. Thre is no medical advantage to the single pill vs 2 separate pills, just a marketing ploy. @Mika78 If you want to stick with Exforge, for future reference it is 880 baht online at https://bangkokdrugstore.com/product/exforge-5160-mg-14s/ And might be less at https://medisafepharma.com but have to message them for quote. They are based in Pattaya so delivery is fast

He seems to be talking about a commission charged by Agoda to the hotel for the booking, not the rate charged to the guest. But indeed can't see how it could be 100%, why would any hotel list with Agoda if they would get 0 money?

Unfortunately there is no available product yet that contains sacubitril except for the imported Entresto. The swelling due to amlodopine can indeed be uncomfortable. There are other drugs in the dame class (calcium channel blocker) which do not cause it as often. These alternatives include manidipine, verapamil and diltiazem.

You can ask https://medisafepharma.com/ Use the Messenger function as online search does nto work If they do nto have it (and they might not as it is so very cheap most online pharmacies don't carry it) just ask at any large public Thai pharmacy. Usually when people are having problems finding common inexpensive drugs like this it is because they are going to a Boots or Watsons or the like. In Thailand these sell mainly cosmetic products. You need a "real", large, Thai pharmacy. Where are you located?

Try Fascino's. If they also do not have it, order from one of these: https://medtide.com (you have to create an account first, then go to "shop". They have Diovan brand for 995baht/28 tabs and Tareg brand for 1000baht/28 tabs https://bangkokdrugstore.com/product/valpress-valsartan-160-mg-28-tabs/ Has Diovan brand for 840 baht and Tareg brand for 720 baht https://medisafepharma.com/ Use the Messenger function to get quote Medisafe is based in Pattaya so delivery might be quicker.

Best not to do that, as Exforge is a combination of amlodopine plus valsaratn Just take these 2 drugs separately ,you are paying more anyhow just for the convenience of 1 pill instead of 2. Amlodopine is widely available in many local brands. For Valsartan, brands here are: Dioforge-160 (locally made) Valsartan GPO (locally made) Viotan (locally made) Diovan (imported) Valpres (imported) See if you can find one of those. Check your dosage first. Exforge comes in different strengths, the dose of valasartan can be 80 160mg and the dose of amlodopine can be 5 or 10 mg.

Good that you saw n endocrinologist and certainly you should be guided by what this specialist advises. Bringing the Vit D levels up to normal and then checking PTH makes sense to me.

Actually due to the harsh sun, low Vit D is especially common here. People tend to walk only in the shade or else early morning/late evening. In addition, as people age their ability to produce Vit D from sunlight decreases. At the same time, by older age most people stop sun-bathing (if they ever did it) due to concerns about skin cancer.

Most hospitals do nto have this. There is one at BPH https://bangkokpattayahospital.com/doctor/dr-pasinee-jantarasoon/ Was he also checked for diabetes?

Did your recent eye check include intraocular pressure (for glaucoma)? As that is important. BTW LifeCare labs is in Pattaya. And cannot do the Exercsie Stress Test which for you would be important.

LifeCare labs does Exercise Stress Tests??? And isn't it in Pattaya? He is looking for Bangkok.

Big difference between a bird in a cage and a cat in a condo or apartment of reasonable size. Very old cats will usually even be happy in small studio apartments. Many cats adapt very happily to inside life, especially older cats which is what OP has in mind. In fact in my experience, indoor/outdoor cats spontaneously stop going outside much or even at all, of their own accord, past a certain age. Agree with you on the birds in cages though. Or any animal in a cage.

Either PAWS as already mentioned or https://www.soidog.org/adopt-a-cat Both of these places will give attention to your specific needs in terms of age and being an indoor cat

Over 70, not 60. And they do check.
