I’ve just moved to Thailand and I am on several medications. I’ve done my best, but so far haven’t been able to find reasonable prices on some of them and I’m hoping someone has some knowledge as to how I could find them at better prices. The drugs that I have prescriptions for and that I’m having trouble finding for a reasonable price are aripiprazole (Abilify)and methylphenidate (Ritalin). At Bangkok Hospital Pattaya they charged me 13,380 Baht for the Ritalin and Abilify for a month's supply; neither one was generic. Two other drugs I take I’ve found at reasonable prices already. I asked Medisafe pharmacy in Bangkok, and they said Ritalin you have to get from a hospital, and they quoted me 4800 for a month of Abilify but didn’t seem to offer a generic.
If anyone could help me reduce my drug costs, I would be grateful. Thanks in advance.
