AussieMichael Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Hello Does anyone know of any pharmacies that provide generix Xanaz (Aprazolam) these days ? They are expensive little items in my country. Last vist to BKK I got some, but won't be visiting there this time around. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rrose070 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 There was a clinic of some sort we passed by last month, it's right next door to the Chiang Mai Thai guesthouse. They had, among other things advertised on their large sign, xanax=3bht alprazolam=1 bht and some others, all the way to Viagra and Methodone!

Methadone/Dolophine® is a restricted class II drug in Thailand, and only available from hospitals/clinics that have a sustantial drug abuse programme. Being in possesion of it illegally could get you some serious jail time, be careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about the others, but Vioxx should not be sold by anybody.Prolonged use heightens the risk of heart attacks.Most countries have taken it off the market.

It's not really a question of law UCS rather a question of sensibilities. Lipitor is primarily used in the reduction of body cholesterol, and should only be taken under doctors advice, self perscription can be dangerous. Similarly Prozac, which is probably the most popular anti depressant on the market today. Viagra/Cialis are a personal choice, but equally dangerous unless you have had an extensive medical. Side effects include nausia, dizzyness, headaches and a high risk of heart attack. Vioxx is just plain dangerous, and as a NSAID has just about been withdrawn in western countries due to the high risk of heat attacks, similarly Celebrex is under scrutiny as an anti infamatory. It's not expensive to go to a doctor in Thailand, and can save a host of medical problems due to self perscription. As a p.s. If you are caught with a large quantity of Viagra or Cialis, it can constitute "dealing" and will incur a fine or jail or both, as recently seen in a case in Pattaya. Not the case with Lipitor.

MM, is prozac really the most popular anti-depresant on the market?? always thought it would have been Zoloft by Pfizer. most used in the States from what i hear.

rrose070 Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Oh Golly, sorry, didn't mean to imply willynilly usage, just that I saw their sign. I never went in, it looked dead by day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
up-country_sinclair Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 same here....i just mentioned those particular drugs because they are relatively well known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chanchao Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Rrose.. 3 baht / 1 baht Xanax.... That can't be right. Even generic Xanaz (Alprazowhatever) would run 80-90 baht for 10. Where is CHiang Mai Thai Guesthouse? Is that the newish boutique hotel style place? Last time I needed Xanax for a long flight I just went to Lanna hospital, claimed fear of flying and got some free on my social insurance thingy. Cheers, Chanchao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
