DVik44 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) Hi all, I recently got prescribed Remeron for depression before I came out here. When I went to a private (Ramkangkang) hospital I paid around 2,600 baht for 30 15mg pills. When I went to a gov't (Prasat) hospital I got 60 15mg pills for the same price. I was wondering if anyone out there/here knows what hospital in the Bangkok area would be best to get this medication for the best price possible since they don't seem to have the generic for this medication. Thanks in advance Edited March 11, 2013 by DVik44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Indeed there is no generic, and also the drug can only be obtained at a hospital pharmacy. A government hospital will be the least expensive source You won't find it anywhere for less than you paid at Prasat so suggest you stay with them.

I don't think it's a controlled substance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Whoops, you are right. I was in the MIMS HK rather than Thailand page. It can be sold OTC, but it is only available in the imported brand. If you anticipate being on it long term it might be worth contacting the distributor to see if you can buy it in bulk: Zuellig Pharma 8-9 Fl, Ploenchit Center2 Sukhumvit Rd Tel: 0 2656 9800 Email: [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
