Thanks C-legs. I found what I was looking for. Much appreciated. 

 

Next question..... since they have these things at the pharmacy can I just go in and ask the pharmacist for them or do I need a prescription from a doctor?

 

Thanks again!!

Almost all non opiate drugs are over the counter in Thailand (but not all drug stores will have everything and some do require a registered pharmacist be on duty).  

medtide.com was recommended to me on this site when I asked about getting cheap citalopram.

 

they use Kerry Express to ship but the website is a bit average and takes a bit of getting used to. 

 

I use them to get cheap(er) escitalopram and rosuvastin.

A system like in western countries, where you need a prescription from a doctor to purchase drugs in a 3rd party pharmacy, doesn’t exist in Thailand.

If a pharmacy has a certain drug they will sell it to you, no prescription required. There are certain controlled drugs, but regular pharmacies don’t have them, for these drugs you would have to see a doctor in a hospital and you would then get them from the hospital's pharmacy.
