Just wondering if there is anyone out there that is living in Thailand and is on the medication ABIXABAN, more commonly know as ELIQUIS and also QUETIAPINE more commonly know as SEROQUEL?

If so, did you find that you could go to a clinic and see a Dr and get a script for these meds? 

Cheers

Both meds  are prescription only.  Abixiban can only be obtained at a hospital pharmacy so you have to see a doctor (in Thailand hospitals have outpatient clinics and that is were most outpatient care occurs rather than stand alone clinics though there are exceptions, especially in Chiang Mai). The only brand available is Eloquis, an  import, so will be very expensive.

 

Quetiapine is same story except there is a locally made brand available (Quantia) provided you need regular and not sustained release so will not be as costly, though you'll still have to pay for a doctor consultation and many private hospitals might not have the local brand, only imported. A government psych hospital or dept is likely best bet for getting the local brand. Be prepared for long waits and a lot of red tape, and bring a Thai speaker along if possible.
