Online Pharmacies

[JimmyTheMook]

Is there one in TH with Lazada type competitive pricing?

 

[Stocky]

I use DrugstoreBangkok they're cheaper than anyone I can find in Hat Yai.

 

I just email my order rather than trying to navigate the online store.

Nothing remotely like Lazada in yerms of price.

 

www.drugstorebangkok.com

Is the only one I know of with remotely Thai prices

 

  There is one other that targets overseas market at inflated prices.

There are lots of people selling pharmaceuticals on facebook, always worth a look.

[JimmyTheMook]

Update, Facino has an online presence and prices are as good or better than in store.

 

I contacted them thru LINE and they were very responsive and receptive.

Is it better than Klang Ya Hat Yai, not only in price but in selection?

No idea. I am not on Facebook. Compare and see.

That is great to know, thanks for sharing this.

 

However it seems not to include pharmaceuticals other than supplements.

Not sure if that's one of the many I tried in Hat Yai, but suspect it is.

 

Often here, if the prices are cheap it's because they source near expiry date stock, either that or it's a generics manufactured in Timbuktu. Often they don't have what I need so they have to order from Bangkok anyway.

 

With Drugstore Bangkok I know when I email, they'll respond same day, what I want will be in stock, and, once I've made the money transfer, it will be with Kerry Express next day and I'll have it the day after. I also know the tablets I receive will be well in date, and not manufactured in Timbuktu.

No, they will link you to their pharmaceutical sales via LINE and you can purchase from them.

message them on Line and they send you a web link to the pharmaceuticals they sell? strange way to do it

[Sheryl]

Since most drugs sold in pharmacies are Category D and require that there be a grade one pharmacist on duty at all times,  online sales are something of a grey area.

Images were also part of the LINE messages - I did consult with a pharmacist in the Bkk Siriraj location who asked if I had a prescription for the med (a non generic blood pressure med that was not showing up online).

 

Paid via bank transfer and items arrived EMS the next day.

 

So guess they have different departments for medical supplies which they seem to be a huge stockist of and for actual pharmaceutical meds.

 

I was impressed with the service.

Actually have used them and agree for what they have in stock it is good service - but they do not even have 500mg Tynelol and many other medications I have searched for.  Both Lazada and Shopee seem to have removed any drug type item (although still good for other items.)

when you click on  sign-in/register , the only option which opens is the sign-in menue

No need to register to order as I recall.  I have used several times without.

That's just an overpriced brand name paracetamol, plenty of that around.

Correct - I buy the generic version at Watsons - around 1 baht per tablet if I remember rightly

[Moonlover]

I would suggest that anyone contemplating online purchasing of pharmaceuticals, especially via Facebook, read this article first.

Certainly it's wise to be careful, but as for drugstorebangkok.com is just the online extension of the physical store on Soi Saladaeng, Silom.

It was the reference to Facebook earlier that prompted me to post that article.

 

However Drug Store Bangkok seems to be OK, in fact I've just placed an email inquiry with them.

 

Thanks for the tip.

I will buy my Tylenol tablets at 118 baht per hundred at my local MaxValue pharmacy - there is not much difference in price for others and Tylenol is well sealed and easy to take.  Do not appreciate the huge round types that hospitals often provide.

 

But my point was there are many medications that they do not have - at the same time there are a few that most others do not have and they do.

And you trust that what you buying is the real thing , not packed with something else

Why not.

Most of the medications I buy, would have an immediate and obvious effect if they didn't work.

But then some are not using such specialized medications.  ????

Is there anywhere will mail to you whilst your outside of Thailand? Because I was diagnosed and perscribed in Thailand, now I can't find medicines. Its not life threatening, but can anyone help?

Even if you find one you may well run into legal or customs problem in the country you have it mailed to.

 

What is the medication? Good chance it is available where you are, just by a different name.

I called bangkokdrugstore to inquire about some meds.  They were reluctant to give prices and only wanted to set up "online" appointment with doctor at 700thb to get any meds even though I have a prescription.
