Not sure why no one's replied. I'm not sure, but it depends where u go. It's possible you can buy them at the pharmacies here, which would be relatively cheap. I think. If you have to start with Drs. and hospitals, it could get more expensive. Can't you bring them with you, and get an advance supply when you leave?

Glucophage and Lipitor are cheap and widely available. I THINK I remember paying 40 baht each pack of ten 500 mg tablets of Glucophage. They have an 850 mg dose here, at the same price, I think, but no 1000mg dose.

Lipitor is cheaper, especially if you get a Thai brand instead of the Western brand. You'd want to use the generic name, atorvastin.

I have no idea if Januvia is available here. Ask for the generic name, sitagliptin, if they have no Januvia.

Co-diovan is a combination drug, valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide. I have no idea if it's available here. Remember to ask for both the brand and generic names. You'll need to know the dosage level of both of these drugs in your pill in case you can only get them separately here. I know you can get the hydrochlorothiazide as it's the most common diuretic around.

Januvia and Co-diovan are both available but as they are imports they will not be cheap. I can't say the amount off hand but it will be slightly more than these drugs would cost in say Canada or Europe, as they will have been imported from there and then subject to duty.
