Sleeping tablets in thailand

[kingalfred]

Is there anywhere in bangkok to get imported or Thai brand quality sleeping tablets such as melatonin or similar. It seems difficult to buy from the states. I looked at sellers on Amazon and they all state they dont ship to Bangkok. Anyone with experience getting sleeping aid tabs?

When I asked my local Thai Pharmacy about Melatonin, she said it should not be used because, it makes the skin very sensitive to sunlight ...

usually her advice is good... so perhaps why not easy to get here???

It was banned in Canada, (not sure if it still is) .... but available in US...

I see in this thread that Sheryl suggests using it .... her advice is usually good.... ??? Makes it hard to know sometimes...

Your local pharmacist is confusing melatonin with Meladinine, brand name for a drug used to treat psoriasis

Nothing at all to do with melatonin

Ah thanks Sheryl, that's interesting, .... I have a friend who suffers from psoriasis, with me at the time, and gets a cream from her, when he visits Thailand, so that maybe where the wires on wording got crossed...

I'll ask again and have it written out!

$4 postage to Thailand.

Keep an order under $40

I've never had a shipment go missing or paid duty.

Likewise, and I have ordered heaps of different vitamins for me and the missus from them.

Iherb! Never paid duty, never had a package missing. Excellent and cheap!

Just ordered and received melatonin and Valerian capsules with two weeks at a fraction of the the Thai cost.
