grin Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I currently take one 7 mg tablet per day. It seems like the most I can get at one time is a 90 day prescription in the US. Has anyone seen it in Thailand? It's fairly expensive at around $2500 per 90 day supply. When in Medicare Part D gap I pay 25% or about $625. Has anyone tried filling this prescription by mail?

Popular Post Sheryl Posted January 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 28, 2021 1. Semaglutide is available in Thailand only as Ozempic which is a once a week injection. Expensive and you have to get from a pharmacy or clinic as it is prescription only. 2. It is illegal to import medications by mail without an FDA permit. In practice small quantities often get through if sent regular mail. By courier, almost always stopped at customs. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be able to get it from a large pharmacy like Fascino if you can show some sort of prescription, but mostly it is hospitals only (it is category "s" - prescription only). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this the same as Rybelsus ? It is not the exact same -- Rybelsus (and Ozempic) is semaglutide. Victoza is liraglutide. These are in the same family of drugs and have the same action, but they are not identical. Semaglutide is somewhat more effective, but costs more. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34574899/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAZZELL Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Any update on the availability of Ozempic or Rybelsus? RAZZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxx Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Both are available without prescription from Diamond Pharmacy in Bangkok. Pulse Clinic can provide Rybelsus (don't know about Ozempic) but Diamond is cheaper. Samitivej doesn't have Ozempic, but does have Rybelsus but, as you'd expect it's rather expensive - 445 baht/tablet for 7 mg. (Diamond is 283/tablet.) The above information is as of July this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Pulse Clinic, it's 11,550 baht for a pack of 30. https://www.pulse-living.com/product/NDQzMjs= However, (a) they're on the expensive side, and (b) it's out of stock with them.
