Best Pharmacys

[patlover]

I have big pain issues and im using Tramadol for pain. What is the best phamacys to get larger quantities for cheap. Also is there some where i could find temgesic?

[timekeeper]

Fascino, Pattaya Nua, # 1 in Thailand

[syd barrett]

Codeine and Temgesic used to be easily available over-the-counter upto a few years ago, but there was a big clamp-down on opiate analgesics in pharmacies so these days you will need a Doctors prescription for strong pain-killers.

You can still buy paracetamol and NSAIDS easily though.

What sort of pain is it? If it is that bad then you probably need a Doctor anyway.

[Phil Conners]

^^ Second that Fascino is the #1 pharmacy in Pattaya.

I don't know Tramadol. Paracetamol is bad for you. Maybe try Ibuprofen, much better drug and much less side effects.

If you need stronger than that you probably need to check out one of the hospitals. Doctors here don't seem to be able to prescribe anything that you can't already get over the counter.

[Ground Engineer]

For Tramadol, try the chemist next to Wethersoons on Soi Buakow.

[ktamp]

I have found generic tramadol at the various watson's around here. Works just as good and is about a third of the price of the name brand.

[Jonathanpattaya]

I will third Fascino as the best pharmacy and they now have three locations here in Pattaya:

Fascino

normally 50% cheaper than the little shops dotted around

The new one, on South Pattaya Rd, opposite Wat Chaimongkron

does not seem to be cheaper that small pharmacies around the Family Mart...

[Hssl]

The branch over the road from Tesco lotus express Sukhumvit Pattaya klang is cheaper for the strips of ranidine i buy to combat stomach acid - Fascino 18B

Little shops 30-40 baht. Maybe its a franchise like MacDonald's - no set price!

That's either a huge exaggeration or you shop at the wrong "little shops". I've found cheaper prices than Fascino at "little shops" on numerous occasions. Sometimes you can get medicine at a "little shop" which requires a script at Fascino.

[Jingthing]

I also wouldn't say the North Pattaya Fascino is 50 percent cheaper, but overall and also adding in their 5 percent discount card, buying everything there saves me a lot of money over the year. Also consider you can trust Fascino not to sell fakes and also to store the meds properly.

Just for your information. Ranitidine is quite an old-fashioned treatment for stomach acid now. Omeprazole 20mg is 100 baht per 14 capsules and works much better in most people. Check it out!

Thanks for the tip Syd

Should i buy it from a little shop?

Also can tropo hold my hand if i need to cross the road?

[syd barrett]

You can buy Omeprazole from every small pharmacy, but avoid the green packet (made in India) opt for the blue packet (made in Bangkok called 'March Pharmaceuticals). Both are the same price 14 capsules 20mg=100 baht.

I found place what sales temgesic. i know its good medicine for me but i know its not legal to buy without doctors papers. are there any real risks that pharmacy makes you some problem if you buy?

No problems for you if a Thai pharmacy sold it to you.

Be aware that you should not travel through a Middle East airport with Temgesic. That act carries a lengthy jail sentence.

Example: Dubai, Doha, Abu Dhabi, Jeddah etc. etc.

Ok, i write this in this same topic. I have to go to hospital with very nasty problem and im scared as hel_l. Anyone know if they can give something sedative in hospital. My body is not responding very well to benzos so is there barbiturates available in Thaihospitals. Im going to Bangkok Pattaya hospital and they have to do little surgery for me i think

The best people to ask are BK/Pattaya hospital not a forum board.You ask for anything,you have money,they will do.

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR HEALTH

I got my Tramadol in the drug shop next to the Anton Restaurant in Naklua.

To get my Rohypnol sleeping pills, I have to go to Bangkok Pattaya Hospital, and get it from the doctor.
