metalloz Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I can't recall the name, it was right next to the wheelchairs. I must not have walked up far enough to see the CMU pharmacy. I tried to Google the address but nothing came up. Is it clearly identified? I will have a look tomorrow and walk further up to try find it. Thanks! I just want a pharmacy I can trust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want a pharmacy I can trust If I am understanding you correctly, you went to the 2 pharmacies side by side across the street from the main enterence to Sriphat. Those pharmacies have been there for 7 years that I know of (surely longer) and are both very reputable. I would not worry about getting counterfeit insulin from them. I don't believe there would be a big market for it in Thailand to be honest. But you could always contact Novo Nordisk in Bangkok and ask them to check the control/lot numbers for you. You could contact them at 02 237-9263-4. Contact person: Mr. Hans Duijf. Yes the CMU Pharmacy is clearly identified with a large sign in English. If you walk out of Suan Dok/Maharaj Medical Center, turn right and walk up about 2 or 3 blocks (in the opposite direction of the moat) you will run right into it. You will see a large sign CMU School of Pharmacy. The retail pharmacy enterence is right on the street on Thannon Suthep. To be honest I don't think this pharmacy is any better or any worse than the other pharmacies. As to your question about proper storage/refrigeration, etc. by all means question them at the pharmacy about this but I suspect everything will be handled in a professional manner. I would however ask for a commitment on the 3 day promise. Stress the importance, get the name and phone number of the senior pharmacist and check in. Best of luck to you.

metalloz Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Found it. CMU pharmacy said they don't sell insulin and won't order it in. I went to the other pharmacy and got a box of Novorapid for 1650 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thnx Across from the main enterence to Sriphat; 2 pharmacies side by side. One I believe is Pharma Choice. The one next to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
