up2you2 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) My two tubes of Savlon Antiseptic Cream from England are nearly finished. Does anybody know of a stockist here in Thailand please? Failing that what is the best alternative here locally? Edited August 30, 2022 by up2you2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post The Hammer2021 Posted August 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2022 My question too- or Germolene. Basically Thailand does not really 'do' antiseptic cream. Antibiotic yes and anti bacterial yes. However I found this Bepanthen Antiseptic cream very similar to savlon. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will arrive in a foam box with dry ice and all frozen. Also when ordering items that are sold by weight they never give you the updated price like it says they will.)

I think that fee is because they sell a lot of frozen items and send them in a foam chest packed with dry ice. See the note I added to my post. So, yes, in this case best to buy from them through Lazada. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that depends, is the 210Bt the charge for every item you order, or is it 210Bt even if you order several items? With Lazada, you have individual charges with each item. I do not like Lazada with so many of their sellers very questionable. I wish I could find an alternative, but not Shopee with their dreadful website. I am going to look into Britishop. but not it they charge 210Bt for each item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarrySeaman Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 My first step would be to ask a pharmacist for an antiseptic cream. A good one will have a book of available medicines (probably on-line now days) that they can check. Check the largest pharmacy available. It isn't what you asked for but the antiseptic Betadine is available in an ointment. You can probably get it an most pharmacies or from Lazada. Lazada - Betadine Ointment For what it is worth, a cream is water based and uses a water soluble thickener, so it can be rinsed off with water. An ointment is grease based and is water proof so you generally rub it off. It is is a good idea to use soap and water to get the last traces off of either a cream or ointment before applying more.

rak sa_ngop Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 A few? years ago Sheryl posted the names of about 6 Thai creams with the same ingredients as Savlon. I visited about 5 pharmacies in Bangkok but none of them had heard or stocked these creams. I suspect there is a ban on the ingredients used in Savlon.

Sparktrader Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Toothpaste can be used to treat any oozy skin irritations like bug bites, athlete's foot and even blisters. It;s a disinfectant, antiseptic and fungicide. Toothpaste will stop itching and reduce swelling when applied topically. It dries up blisters if applied before bed, healing you while you sleep.Nov 23, 2552 BE https://www.backpacker.com/news-and-events/toothpaste-not-just-for-brushing/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
