I get mine from Fascino . Regarding a prescription. If you get one from a doctor; yes the consultation might be 900 baht but get one that lasts a year. That's what I do for all my medical needs.

More respect for the country in which you are residing might get your more responses.

 

 

Otherwise Siem Reap opposite the main hospital

 It's very hard to find. Keep trying, usually I found they only have a very low dose 81 mg.  Next time bring some with you from your country. Good luck.

It was an appropriate response to the cr4p you posted, and you have to ask about Fascino?

 

Do some legwork/research you lazy toad.

I'm looking for standard (not low dose) aspirin in Pattaya.

500 mg.

Haven't found anywhere including Fascino.

Any clues?

 

 

Good luck with that, since Bayer suddenly and for no admitted reason pulled out of the Thai market for aspirin it's been nearly impossible to get hold of.

 

However - it does exist in some pharmacies but not in the 500mg size.

 

I have seen 300mg enteric coated Aspirins in various places - the brand name is Asprex and they come in strips - there's also a bottle which contains 100's of similar enteric coated tablets that you can get.

Two of the above is near enough......

That seems like a very high dose in one tablet for aspirin, but been so long since I'd bought any.

 

Excedrin $$ is 250mg aspirin, 250 paracetamol

I found it occasionally at random pharmacies, but they were usually sold out the next time I looked.  Last time was at the Foodland on Soi 16 in Bangkok.  But they only had it once. Still, that was a good day.

 

Otherwise, it's the 80 or 100mg baby aspirin for blood thinner at ridiculous prices.  Available all over.

 

I'm wondering if anyone has ordered any (successfully) from overseas.  Like Amazon or...  or...

Have you tried the online vendors ?   You could just use 81 (60 tab jar @ 50 baht) and take six of them.   Not sure if instant or slow release.  Buy a box of 10 at a time.   Choose wisely as I did buy aspirin from an online vendor, recommended on AN quite often, (forget name, but was not Medisafe) and was 50% more than my local pharmacy.

For what ailment do you need the Aspirin?

Why a high dose Aspirin ?

 

Paracetamol and Tylenol 500mg both do the same in most cases and easy to buy everywhere blister pack of 10, or buy 100 tablet tub - cost 100 baht

 

I do take Aspirin daily as a blood thinner 81mg.

No 500 mg. is NOT a very high dose!

Excellent useful suggestion. Thank you.

Be very careful when using aspirin, a friend almost died due to aspirin allergy.  Had taken aspirin for a pulled back muscle, went into convulsions. He did not know he was allergic.

Regular use (painkilling strength) can cause bleeding in the stomach.

Try Ultracet, over the counter, very effective painkiller.

I think the OP just wants to thin his blood - he obviously hasn't read advice from American College of Cardiology.......but I agree about Ultracet.

Note your own information points to a single tablet 500mg not being likely especially in Thailand.

 

I think when it was popular back in the States all I remember was the 325 mg dose and yes if you take two that would be 650 🙄

 

If you need an essay ideas there are far better things to take. Naproxen, ibuprofen. Better, less risk. Prolonged use can really do some damage to your kidneys.

Sounds alarmist.

Nobody is suggesting taking higher does for pain, etc. all the time.

As far as internal bleeding, actually taking the low dose approx 80 mg daily can cause that.

Any doctor will tell you it's a risk reward tradeoff whether you should do that or not and the trend is to only recommend that for people with specific heart health profiles.

Actually it's not that big a deal as I see I can get 325. Doubling that is close enough to 500 if desired.
