russianrobert Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Hi, I have a stomach condition that requires regular use of a specific medication that I got on prescription from a doctor in the UK. I have finished the medication and want to get some more. I don't want to have to pay to go to see a doctor, I just want to be able to buy more medication. Does anyone know where can I do this? Thanks for any information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailingHome Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 If SE Asia Pharmacy at Sukhumvit 12 doesn't have it, you will have to go to the hospital. Likely, any pharmacy has it and will sell it without a new script in my experience. Which is it?

Sceptict11 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Would help if you told us which medication you are seeking ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Yes, we need to know the medication. Odds are that it does not require a prescription in Thailand and can be bought at a pharmacy but brand names may be different here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghworker2010 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Dont go to the pharmacy at Bumrungrad as you will pay 4 to 5 times the price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheryl Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 It does depend on the drug. A much larger number of things are OTC in Thailand than in the West but there are some drugs that are provided only on presecription and/only by hospital pharmacies. Not, however, any for a "stom,ach condition" that I can think of. If the drug is a PPI such as meprazole, nexium etc, no prescription needed in Thailand.

Sceptict11 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Should be available from any medium/large Pharmacy . Sold under the Trade Name "Prevacid" No need for a prescription. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozza Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Anyone looking for Nexium I found a Pharmacy, Theo's Pharmacy on Soi Post Office 13/2 in Pattaya (near Bodega bar) that sells the 28 x 40 mg for 1400 baht. I have been on Nexium for years and because of the cost here decided to use the thai brands to no avail. They helped in the immediate sense but didn't appear to help healing. After feeling ill for so long I decided to return to the Nexium to see if it helped, Bingo... arriving home I immediately took 80 mg and within 3 hours I felt 80% better. I was feeling so miserable I'd have paid double just to feel good again. I'm taking 40 mg every other day and haven't had a problem for months. Also Pharmacy will order them in if he has run out and will call you when they have arrived usually next day delivery. He does this with any other prescription medications needed.
