Foxy52 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Does anyone please know where I can buy Spiriva (tiotropium bromide 18 mg) inhalation capsules? Just been to those three so-called pharmacies at Tha Pae gate, none of which, including Boots, had it. I have an appointment at CM Ram tomorrow, but m reluctant to buy it there s they charge like a wounded rhinoceros. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even they might have to order it. Don't expect it to be cheap anyway. All I see is original stuff from Boehringer Ingelheim (Germany) distributed by Zuellig Pharma Bangkok.

Bill97 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Try Dara pharmacy across from the Dara school, actually accress from what was a das station just east of the school. They have stuff others don't.Sent from my iPod touch using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxy52 Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 Thanks I'll check out Fascino tomorrow as I bought my BP monitor at the one opposite Maharaja hospital last month and they seemed well-stocked. One month's supply cost over THB5K at the Ram, including the inhaler, so hopefully it'll be a bit less elsewhere. Those 'pharmacies' I mentioned seem to be more interested in flogging face cream and skin whiteners to Chinese tourists, but I suppose that's where the money's to be made hereabouts.

It's not cheap in Europe too. 90 capsules ("refill" without inhaler) for 169 Euro would make about 2500 Baht/month(30 days). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxy52 Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 I'd be very surprised if there wasn't a generic version, as I remember writing the tiotropium Asian launch materials for Boehringer-Ingelheim in the mid-1990s. Drug patents rarely last more than 12 years or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would check Dara before going to Fascino. Dara has things many pharmacies don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxy52 Posted June 1, 2018 Author Share Posted June 1, 2018 Thanks Bob I'll check out the Indian generic, as Fascino didn't have any this morning and I had pay top dollar at the Ram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
