phuturatica Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I have not seen it available in the pharmacies here however it might only be available via prescription only. I mentioned it to my renal specialist at Bangkok Medical Hospital and he knew what it was however did not actually confirm that it was available in Thailand. Your best bet is to wait for @sheryl to answer your question as she's pretty clued up with this sort of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 There is no registered brand in Thailand. the closest thing seems to be Fosrenal (lanthanum carbonate) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llso Posted August 4, 2012 Author Share Posted August 4, 2012 Thanks both of you for your quick replies. I was trying to find out for an elderly lady who cannot afford this medicine in US. Many times medicines are way cheaper in Thailand. LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
