Check Watson's. They had it a couple months ago when I needed some.

An old thread but it will help me to know what the approximate cost is in Thailand of Lansoprazole 30 mg, generic or otherwise, anyone?

[Sheryl]

Thete is no local generic version of lansoprazole only imported brand Prevacid. Which will be quite expensive.

Many local generic equivalent brands of omeprazole though, and this works fine for most people.

I buy Omeprazole 20mg from a local pharmacy here in Chiang Rai, at a cost of 120 baht for a box of 100 capsules and they work fine. I have been getting them for a few years now, and not suffered with any acid reflux. I take 1 in the morning and 1 in the evening.

I used to use Omeprazole..(Dosate) - very cheap and hightly effective. However after angioplasty 2 years ago and the insertion of 2 stents, I was told I had to use Prevacid 30mg  (50baht/tablet)    I now find that I can manage with one half Prevacid tablet every 3 days, but if I forget, I have problems on the 4th day.

Interesting, I also have a stent. What is the negative link between angioplasty and Omeprazole?

Took this for 15 years, now linked to all sorts of side effects. Some not proven enough to put me off but osteoporosis does seem like a real side affect over a long period. I found almonds help a lot instead

Following angioplasty one normally is put on clopidogrel tablets (blood thinners) either as Plavix or the generic Apolets.   It is this medicine that reacts badly with omeprazole, and supposedly less so with Prevacid. Google it.

I have....there seems to be considerable evidence to suggest those people on asprin therapy should also be prescibed PPI's since this reduces the risk of abdominal bleeding and reduces morbidity:

He is not talking about aspirin but rather clopidogrel, and also nto talking about the need for PPIs per se but rather the fact that  there is an interaction between  omeprazole and several other PPIs that reduces the effectiveness of clopidogrel.

 

Lansoprazole (also a PPI)  appears to cause less interference.

Is Omeprazole not clear enough?

Omeprazole is the name of the drug, not the brand

 

But thanks for taking the photo, I now know to look for the GPO brand, which works out over 3x cheaper

 

This is why I asked for the brand, not the name of the drug

[Xboxer]

Your welcome. For your further information, GPO = Government Pharmaceutical Organization.

[Sheryl]

Most GPO product brand names are, in fact, just the generic name of the drug + "GPO".

Lansoprazole isn't recommended for long term use. I was prescribed it for a period of a couple of months until my condition settled. Have used Omeprazole 20mg, twice daily for many years now and am fine.

I was prescribed clopidogerel for a year after having a stent fitted. Stayed on omeprazole throughout the treatment. No problems.

Maybe this only works for me, but to my great surprise, drinking (and cooking with) a little apple cider vinegar removed and eradicated my acid reflux problem pretty definitely. 

Counter intuitive I know but there is a scientific basis for it.
