cmarshall Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Where in Bangkok can we buy the antibiotic minocycline? My wife was told at one pharmacy that a doctor's prescription is required, but as far as I know prescriptions are not necessary for antibiotics in Thailand. She found it effective in the past for acne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 It does not require a prescription but there is only one brand of it in Thailand and hard to find.Doxycycline is much more readily available and same class of drug. Can be found in virtually any pharmacy.Sent from my SM-J701F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe try one of the many skin clinics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
