DJ54 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Anyone know if generic medicine is available for Aprovel 150 mg and Concor 5 mg? Aprovel for 2 monthsupoly was 12,000 baht at the hospital. Kumphawapi doesn’t carry Aprovel or Concor at pharmacies. I’ve checked three pharmacies in Udon and haven’t found yet. Tha ks for you help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Yes, there are locally made generic equivalents for both, but will need a bit of looking to find. Make sure you ask by generic rather than brand name. Aprovel = irbesartan Concor = bisoprolol Sent from my SM-J701F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 How much are you using to require 12,000 baht for a 2 month supply? The selling price for Aprovel 150mg is only 400 baht for 14 tablets online. http://drugstorebangkok.com/product/aprovel-150-mg-14s/ The Concor is even cheaper at 95 baht per strip of 10 tablets http://drugstorebangkok.com/product/concor-5-mg-10s/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ54 Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 124 i went to one of the big chain pharmacies in Udon and a couple other smaller shops they didn’t have brand name or generic i could try the hospital here in Kumphawapi but the wait is usual 1/2 a day.

lopburi3 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 You can order the brand names from that drugstorebangkok.com if not available in a local pharmacy if price is OK for you. Indeed private hospitals often highly markup medicine. Aprovel 300mg is 550 baht per 14 and could be cut if required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ54 Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 Thank you for the information and I will check the ones you mentioned. The Dr. told me better to buy outside of hospital because it’s expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 If you have occasion to come to Bangkok you can get the local brands here and stock up. Not sure you can find them in Udon. I buy generic irbesartan for a relative and often have to try a few places to find it, even in Bangkok. Alternatively I duggest you ask your doctor if you could substitute losartan as this is readily found in inexpensive generic and same action and family of drug as irbesartan. Likewise I would ask him if you can substitute a different and more widely available beta blocker for the bisoprolol.

DJ54 Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 I emailed the hospital I go to earlier today and just got reply. They said can order generic for me and would take seven days. I will try the others you suggested first.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
