ozimoron Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 My supplies of Rosuvastatin and Irbesartan I brought from Australia are running out. Past experience has taught me that both are very expensive here in Pattaya. Are there brand equivalents available here which I could use instead and are much cheaper? I don't want to change to Lipitor or Atorvastatin as I really like pomelo and it can be eaten with Rosuvastatin. If not, where would be the cheapest places to buy these medications?

nigelforbes Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Sandoz Rosuvastatin 20 mg is 900 Baht for 28 tabs in my neck of the woods (North), widely available. Sorry I can't advise a Pattaya pharmacy but others will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozimoron Posted May 21, 2023 Author Share Posted May 21, 2023 Fascino on Pattaya Klang stock Bewel at just over 200 a pack. I had to order 150 mg in from North Pattaya as they only had 300 mg. Avapro at Boots was around 950 if I recall correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dddave Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 (edited) Speaking of Fascino's in Jomtien, many residents seem unaware that there is a 2nd Fascino's just off Soi Chiayaphreuk. It is not visible from the roadway though it's distinctive orange sign is. If you are on Chiyaphreuk going towards Sukhumvit from 2nd Rd, close to Sukhumvit, on the left you will pass an arched entry to a housing estate. The entry to the Fascinos is the next immediate left. There will be a laundromat and Fascino's is just past it. It's been really convenient lately as the Fascino's on Trepasset Rd has been hemmed-in by road construction.
