Pdavies99 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Most are available, but not all...it would be advisable to ask your Doctor for several alternatives, or tell me by message service and I will check for you here! Best Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prk888 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Fascinos on Pattaya Tai will have most of what you require I believe - - from Sukhumvit Road, go west down P/Tai about 1km and it's on the left, after first set of traffic lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky123 Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 Have been subscibed.....Bisoprolol 2.5ml and Simvastatin 20ml. What sort of cost please. Many Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyebee Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I would recommend the Pharmacy next door to Tim's on 2nd road. The lady in there is very knowledgeable, and if she doesn't have something in stock will send out for it (you can pick it up about an hour later). I take Bestatin 20mg (same as Simvastatin), and from my recollection it was about 400 baht for a pack of 30. Also recommend getting Aspent aspirin (for blood thinning), a box of 1,000 costs around 500 baht! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Simvastatin, yes in Thailand. Cost? Cheap. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:uGYp8bcEOeoJ:www.mims.com/Thailand/drug/info/simvastatin/+&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk Bisoprolol, yes in Thailand. http://www.mims.com/Thailand/patientmedicine/generic/Bisoprolol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patekatek Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Bestatin 40 mg tablets are what I take and I can easily find them in just about any decent pharmacy. I think you will have even better luck finding your 20 mg tablets. I last purchased a months supply and I think it was about 200 baht. Over the counter in Thailand is great if you do your homework regarding meds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pdavies99 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Bisoprolol Fumarate is called 'Concor 5' in Thailand, it is available in 5mg or 10mg tablets which can be easily broke in half, they cost 120 Baht (£2.40) for foil strip of 10 x 5mg tablets. (2.5mg is not available) Simvastin is not available in Thailand but a generic copy called Bestatin is available for 380 Baht for 30 x 20mg.

Know your chemical and dose and more often than not, you can get it in Thailand and often quite cheaply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask for Zimmex 20 mg. You can buy a strip of 10 or a whole box of 5 strips - 50 doses for the arithmetically challenged, for little money. Have dosed myself every evening for all of the 11 odd years I've been here, and never had any problem obtaining them.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I thought so too based on the link I provided. In any case, name brand, generic, whatever, we've got it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
