shdmn Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Hi, Is it possible to get generic Cialis (Tadalafil) and Ambien (Zolpidem) over the counter in Vietnam? If so what is the approximate cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunjeff Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I've seen many brands and dosages of locally produced tadalafil for sale at pharmacies in HCMC. I don't know the price, but it will certainly be far cheaper than the original version. Generic zolpidem (from France, I think) used to be sold years ago, but I haven't paid attention to whether it's still available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirHonkersTheFirst Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Zolplistad 7.5mg (Zopiclone) available in most larger pharmacies. 24-40k VND/10 tablets. Haven't prices Cialis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northstar1 Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Yes any ED drug is available. they will show you name brand first but ask for generic, can’t remember offhand but very very cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyExpat57 Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 I bought name brand Cialis a few years back. Damned expensive IMHO, it was around 6500 baht for one pill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't prices Cialis. Zopiclone is not the same as Zolpidem. Ambien is the non-generic name. A cheaper brand name for it is Stilnox. You can get it over the counter in Cambodia. I would like to know if you can get it over the counter in Vietnam and if it's any cheaper there. Edited September 26, 2022 by shdmn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecyclist Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 You cannot get Zolpidem, whether generic or not, OTC in Vietnam. Not only that, but pharmacies just don't stock it. Even most hospital pharmacies in the provinces don't have it. You will have to go to one of the bigger hospitals in bigger cities. The locally produced version of Zoplicone (Zolpistad) is readily available OTC. Zoplicone is not Zolpidem, but for me they are equally effective.

I can get Zolpidem (brand name Stilnox) over the counter in Cambodia as well as lots of other stuff that tends to be highly controlled in many other countries, so I assumed it was also possible in Vietnam.

Exactly, that's why I always stock up on drugs when I am in Cambodia. But didn't reckon with a 2 year border closure Stocks ran out, and I had to shop around for drugs in Vietnam. To no avail, they are very restrictive with sedatives in Vietnam. At pharmacies here they often look at you like you had asked for heroin or cocaine.
