malathione Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Greetings all. Any idea where I might be able to get Triamcinolone IM injectable in Bangkok? I tried SouthEast Pharmacy but they don't have it. I'd appreciate any hints as to which particular pharmacies I should try. According to Mims, both Thainocort and Shincort are made in Thailand. I normally travel with a couple of these when I go to the back of beyond for a few months for work. Work is very dusty and my usual asthma meds stop working very efficiently. I do have a prescription from home for what it's worth, just that my stock of Kenacort is exhausted. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malathione Posted June 18, 2023 Author Share Posted June 18, 2023 Not sure what the confused member is confused about. Enlighten me so that I can, perhaps, allay your confusion. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toolong Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 I recall getting a shot of triamcinolone - to treat a 'rotator cuff' problem in my shoulder - at Phaya-Thai 2 hospital in Bkk a few years ago.....if that's of any help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, yes, the hospitals do administer them but I really don't want to take one preemptively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INDUSTRIES (M) SDN BHD - a Malaysian company. According to MIMS it's not available to Thailand. Thaicort is made in Thailand. However, it's an FDA category S (Special Controlled Drug) with a prescription required. In practice this means you'll have to get it from a hospital after a medical consultation. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PPMMUU Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 In my view, self-administering an intramuscular injection for the treatment of an asthma attack appears to be too risky. However, with a prescription, I firmly believe that you can obtain one from various wholesale pharmacies located near major hospitals such as Siriraj Hospital or Rajavithi Hospital. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, I'll give that a shot. Unfortunately, self administration is the only choice when you're a week away from the road head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
