Glaucoma meds

[The cobbler]

Can anyone tell me if I can buy these two medicines in Thailand if so where and how much?

Try Fascino and email Medsafe Pharmacy in Bangkok, free monthly delivery, both the cheapest around for different things

Nice one mate I will try that

Both are available in Thailand without prescription but will be costly as they are imports. There are no locally made generics.

I’ve been on xalatan for over 30 years. When I came here I had to pay and it was quite expensive from a pharmacy.

 

Years later I found that my local hospital sells it at 120thb/ bottle… Use for one month.

 

I think it does something similar to one of your prescriptions.

Prachinburi. They did not have it in stock, had to order it from Bangkok.

 

I expect cost would be similar in any large pharmacy.

I can never understand why expats in Thailand buy from a Pharma--- for long term medication I mean. Something like this  cobbler usually  only takes one visit every 6 mths--1 year. See the Doc get the cheapest pharma possible in Thailand (I am talking about public hospitals). Get a check up at the same time.

I have done that for the last 22 years.
