Sirdalud cost?

[Green]

I am having a friend send Sirdalud 4mg, 30tab box (generic name tizanidine) to Canada for me, does anyone happen to know the cost and if it would be stopped by customs sent via EMS? I recall it was about 360B or 430B at the pharmacies along Silom/Rama4 across from Chula.

Also what mg dose do they have for generic dicolfenac? Just looking for the highest one and what is the approximate cost for a box? Do they have 100mg time release the same as Voltaren?

Thanks!

A pharmaceutical export license from the Thai FDA is required to legally do this, which you will not be able to get. This and other rules are most stringently applied when a courier service is used. There may also be issues on the Canadian side, especially if (as I suspect) this drug requires a prescription in Canada.

Brand name Sirdalud is unlikely to cost less in Thailand than in Canada, as there is a tax levied on imported drugs. Perhaps you are thinking of locally made generic equivalents, of which there are several: Tizan, Tidar etc.

There are several locally made sustained release form of diclofenac 100 mg. Voltaren SR is here also, but as aboive would likely cost more than in Canada since it is an import.
