Heart mediation Entresto!

[shanekh]

Have recently been put on Entresto- a heart medication used to treat blood pressure issues. 

Can anyone kindly recommend a Bangkok pharmacy that carries entresto- either in 100mg or 200mg dosage.

To date I have used the hospital pharmacy to purchase Entresto but at  outrageous prices --180b per pill.

I have searched at my local mom and pop pharmacies as well as the Central Shopping Rx's- but to no avail.

Entresto has no generic version so its high cost may be the reason most local pharmacies don't carry it.

Much appreciate any and all advice,

Thank you !!

I would try Fascino - main branch across from Siriraj Hospital. There are a few other large pharmacies in that same area. Phine is 088 290 9871

 

If this fails best to contact the distributor and ask for names of pharmacies they have supplied to.  The distributor is Zuellig.  8th-9th Floor, Ploenchit Center 2 Sukhumvit Road, Klongtoey Bangkok 10110 · (0) 2656-9800 · (0) 2656-9801

 

It will still be extremely expensive. While there is mark up on drugs at private hospitals , the extent of mark up is less when it comes to really expensive drugs than it is for others.

Sheryl, I see where Entresto is a combination of two other drugs.  Is it possible to buy these two drugs separately and save money?

No as one of the 2 drugs is not available in any other form.

Hi Sheryl

Thank you for your thoughtful suggestions. I did find a suitable pharmacy named Chula MD located on rama 4 Road. 022341297 is their number in case anyone is interested. Entresto is 40 % cheaper at this store than my hospital, still expensive but manageable. They have very good prices for additional heart related meds, statins, blood thinners etc. Thanks again sheryl
