  1. Not 3,100 It is 31,000 baht for one course of 5 days (=30 tablets) You have to add cost for doctor and covid test. Pfizer has raised the price recently ( e.g. in Europe from 60 - sixty - € to 1100 - elevenhundred - € since March if you don't get it through insurance). 31,000 baht is now quite a bargain. Molnupiravir is only about 2500 baht, that's at Bangkok Hospital and includes doctor fee. But Merck has withdrawn their application for molnupiravir in Europe as it was clear it would be rejected because molnupiravir is not very useful.
  2. Bumrungrad has Paxlovid, 31000 baht (plus cost for doctor and test)
  3. Atorvastatin to "treat" high cholesterol should only be given if you have a high risk of cardiovascular disease. We don't know your other risk factors so we cannot comment. No medication should be given to treat an isolated lab value. Creatinine 1.45 is too high. Hopefully, you are just dehydrated from the summer heat. Drink a lot (your urine should have the color of white wine, not of beer) for a week or two and check creatinine again.
  4. There is no general answer to this question. You have to do sensitivity testing, available in all hospitals. ( if they wrote ESBL that means they did sensitivity testing, so you should find the results in your records, but I would do a new one) Ask to include testing for sitafloxacin and fosfomycin, sometimes effective against ESBL E coli and easily available in well-stocked pharmacies. Norfloxacin is usually not effective. So, if norfloxacin was effective you probably didn't have ESBL.
  5. Death. Overdosing is common, in the vain hope to get more satisfactory sex the more viagra or cialis one takes. If you are healthy, it may lead to - blurred vision - low blood pressure and rapid heart beat, leading to dizziness, and maybe fainting - priapism: a very unpleasant erection lasting many hours, having the effect of a tourniquet on your penis. This is a medical emergency. Unfortunately, most people who take viagra or cialis are not healthy: elderly men with less than perfect blood vessels. Their damaged blood vessels are the reason for their erectile dysfunction, but it may also be the reason for coronary artery disease and high blood pressure - for which they may receive medication or not. These people may die from an overdose of ED drugx.
  6. But the risk to develop long covid is not lower at your 2rd, 3rd or 4th... infection, it's the same risk every time you catch covid
  7. My credit cards have been frozen many times because I used it abroad. Out of state, or in another town, has never been a problem, though, so I gave up complaining.
  8. Changing residence for a bank account to Thailand is tricky. They may do as Barclays did in the UK: accept it for a while, then all of a sudden kick you out. A friend had this experience with 2 German banks. He even asked before changing residence whether there would be a problem. They said no, but changed their mind after 2 or 3 years.
  9. Yes, they do. I tried to find the link for you but I cannot find it anymore. Sorry. I think I found the link somewhere here on the forum.
  10. The Russian consulate asked the thai authorities to get Bi-2 delivered to Russia so the Thais obliged https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/jan/30/members-of-russian-anti-war-rock-band-bi-2-face-deportation-from-thailand
  11. Israel invited them to Tel Aviv, and the Thais agreed. After intervention of the Russian embassy the deal was canceled. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/jan/30/members-of-russian-anti-war-rock-band-bi-2-face-deportation-from-thailand
  12. 1624 can speak English (for several years already)
  13. Distributing iron pills to school kids started in 2000. The studies "proving" wide-spread iron deficiency anemia were often done with hill tribes, kids on welfare, people from the border areas., etc. The studies sometimes read a bit funny, e.g. on the same page we read "In the northeast Thai school children population, the prevalence of anemia is 31%" and "among 265 hill-tribe school children, 8-14 years of age, from Omkoi District, Chiang Mai Province, Thailand. Anemia was observed in 20 school children, of whom 3 had iron deficiency anemia." https://www.tm.mahidol.ac.th/seameo/2014-45-4/18-625422.pdf How much iron deficiency exists in the overfed Thai middle class children of 2024 I don't dare to guess. OTOH these pills are cheap and won't do much harm.
