Is generic Diovan available in Thailand?

I take Diovan (generic: VALSARTAN), made by Novartis.

Diovan is now off patent and so I am looking for generic version here in Thailand.

Anyone have any experience with finding generic Diovan ?

I found this post from 2010, regarding VALATAN, made by Silom Medical.

I have looked around but only find non-generic Diovan; one pharmacist checked MIMS guide and said 'not available' in Thailand.

Thanks.

Valartan made by Silom Medical is the only Iocally made generic equivalent. For assistance in finding a pharmacy with it suggest you contact Silom Medical and ask them what pharmacies they have supplied in the recent past. If yo uare prepared to purchase in bulk, you might also be able to arrange to purchase directly from them (which will be less expensive as wholesale price)

Simom Medical
35/3 Suparaj Soi 1
Phaholyothin Rd
Phayathai Bangkok 10400
Contact Number: Tel: 0 2272 6890-7, 1800-227-211 Fax: 0 2272 6922, 1800-227-212

Otherwise there is only Diovan brand, made by Novartis and distributed by Zuellig.

I went to the office of the company making the thai generic for valsartan, called valatan. They don't sell directly but they gave me the address of a whole sale pharmacy selling it not that far (on pradipat). Price of the 28 pills is 290 thb. At least 6000 thb saved per year.
