fin5prtw Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Has anyone come across any antihistamine tablets in Thailand (for allergies)- every pharmacy I've tried always offers me cream but never has the tablet form! I'd love to know if anyone has found any? If so where, and how much? I usually buy them for about £1 a pack back in England! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oncearugge Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Certirizin + many others at any Thai pharmacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkerry Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 It would be a rare pharmacy in Thailand that does not stock antihistamine tablets. This is what I take, never had a problem finding it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fin5prtw Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 I live on Koh Lanta, so shops and pharmacies aren't always stocked quite the same as on the mainland- however I will give them another go with the brand names in the hope that I get somewhere this time! Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oncearugge Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I live on Koh Lanta, so shops and pharmacies aren't always stocked quite the same as on the mainland- however I will give them another go with the brand names in the hope that I get somewhere this time! Thank you Even on Koh Lanta a Pharmacy will have one or more oral antihistamine medications. What have you been asking for ? Write in block letters on a piece of paper the brand names and give the paper to the Pharmacist. If the paper is not understood you are dealing with a shop-girl and should ask when the Pharmacist will be available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanuk21 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Chlorpheniramine.... 20 baht per 100 4mgm tabs. Will cause drowsiness..... only take before bedtime. Stocked in every pharmacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamemjay Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 All pharmacies have various types. If they don't understand (unlikely) write down the chemical name and hand that to them. In the most unlikely event of their not stocking it, ask them to order it in, Most pharmacists are very cooperative in this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dddave Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Chlorpheniramine My local pharmacy sells this under the brand "CET-TEC" Indeed; does cause drowsiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Pretty much all thai pharmacies sell chlorpheneramine, loratadine and zyrtec. They will often not recognize the name when you say it though so best to write it down for them. Chlorpheneramine will make you drowsy while the other 2 less so.
