I heard that from the 19th of March Viagra are no longer to be sold in Thailand. My local pharmacy still has them anyway.

Anyone else have some more info on the matter?

No link. My local pharmacist told me so and he heard it from the police. Why close the link, give it a couple of days to see if someone has more info. If there is none the thread dies anyway.

Without Viagra the economy of Pattaya will go totally flaccid.

I'll let it stay for awhile, but I tend to doubt the truth of it. Seems like something posted to get a reaction.

What a nonsense.

The pharmacies have to learn about new rules from the Ministry of health or similar body, not from street cops.

And more : the whole GDP of Thailand would suffer a major blow.

Anyway : it looks like a ridiculous "police gossip"...

I agree, it probably looks like the police looking for another source of cash. If not it looks like I may need to open a second office in Pattaya. 60-20-20 on this one.

Ok, I see your point. I assure you this was an honest question.

If I didn't think the information sounded strange I would never have asked here. What I was hoping to find out if someone else heard similar claims. It could be that the pharmacist means Viagra (or Kamagra) that is cheaply imported from the neighboring countries and that he would probably hear from the street cops. On the other hand since when does the guys in brown not meddle in other peoples businesses?

you don't know maybe it is was never allowed. I got once told that viagra is not allowed in thailand at all.

What as we all know does not mean that you can't buy it openly everywhere....

But the doctors at leading Thai hospitals would prescibe it, if asked.

The Viagra patent expires in 2019, pretty long time to keep the surrogates away. Unless Thailand scraps the whole agreement with the World (they have indicated they might - to escalate production of locally manufactured drugs for more pressing problems - AIDS and malaria, for example).

That's much a bigger frame and a picture than what a policeman would be able to understand.

My local pharmacist told me so and he heard it from the police.

My feeling is that the pharmacist misunderstood the policeman, or the policeman misunderstood whomever gave him the information. There is another recent topic about a lot of Viagra in the market being fake and selling fake varieties is obviously illegal. Perhaps a crack-down on fake Viagra is planned.

what missunderstanding the police meant fake Viagra and told the pharmacist that his fake Viagra are now illegal (unless he pay him 2000 baht per month) as they all sell fake viagra....

The pharmacist understood that his fake viagra are now illegal and told you that viagra are now illegal (unless you pay a double price)...

Sounds like a limp dicked attempt to increase tea money......

I'll just get my coat..........

Let's take a hard line approach and put this one to bed, without erecting all the other jokes. Closed, but it was fun.
