Jardiance aka empagliflozin - Diabetes Oral Medicine - Anyone use it?

[Chrysaora]

This was suggested by an endocrinologist here in Thailand.  I searched both names, brand and generic and came up with zero.  Anyone using it?

Are you asking where to find it in Thailand? It is here but it is a "special Control drug" which means few if any pharmacies will carry it. For the most part "special controlled drugs" can only be gotten at hospital. It is technically possible for a pharmacy to prescribe it if they have a grade one pharmacist on duty at all times (few do) and keep records of sales, most don't want to bother.

 

Slight possibility you could get it at a large pharmacy near a large government hospital if you show a prescription. Otherwise you have to get it from a hospital upon prescription fro ma doctor at that hospital. Why didn't the endocrinologist you saw prescribe it?

 

It is very, very expensive.

She prescribed it and it was almost 4300b for 30 pills 25mg.  

 

I just checked Fascino where I buy most of my drugs. 

 

1040 for 25mg 1 box.  I just ordered 2.
