Lysine And Other Natural Supplements- Where Can I Buy?

[vestalfleck]

Hello all-

Just moved to CM and have developed some cold sores (maybe from sharing food/drinks b/c I haven't had any sexual relations). Anyways, they are quite bothersome/upsetting and I have a big interview tomorrow (and I know Thais are very appearance-centric). Does anyone know where I can purchase some lysine pills, vitamins, hydrogen peroxide and/or something like carmex/blistex? Also, is there a Thai word for lysine. Thank you very much in advance.

Great little pharmacy (the pharmacist and her assistant speak English very well) on Ratchadamnoen (Sunday Walking Steet) . It is the first pharmacy traveling away from the moat on the same side of the soi as Black Canyon Coffee (on the left side). They carry lysene and vitamins and are extremely helpful.

I can't "drop a pin" but keep in mind that pharmacy is located in the heart of the tourist district and the prices are reflected as such.

 

Is there something in particular you need? A pharmacy with some of the largest stock in town is Dara Pharmacy across from the Dara School. Prices are good. Not as good as before the remodel, but hey - someone has to pay for it.

Thank you for the response!  I'll look up Dara.  I'm just looking for lysine.  I checked around nimman yesterday to no avail.  Same situation as the OP.  It happens when I eat a lot of pineapple, citrus, etc..

For both posters, also look for the acyclovir or penciclovir cream which can shorten the duration of the outbreak and if applied when the first "tingling" sensation occurs, can sometimes stop the outbreaks altogether.

Your best bet is to order it from iherb.com
