I have ADHD and Strattera has been working wonders for me. The hospital charges a fortune for my prescription. (14,000 baht for 6 weeks).

Does anyone know a pharmacy where I can buy the Thai generic brand under the name Atomoxetine?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I could rive to Pattaya if necessary.

Are you currently getting it from a private hospital? All of them overcharge horrendously for meds, typically by 200-500%. Would definitely recommend going to one of the bigger government hospitals, as they are more reasonable and usually have local/ generic versions.

There is unfortunately no local brand of this. But agree, would avoid the markup at a government hospital.

For that matter, there are differences in degree of markup among private hospitals.

Adderall is neither the same drug, nor a generic, nor a local brand. It is also completely banned in Thailand.

There are locally made brands of Methylphenidate (Ritalin equivalent). None of atomoxetine. In fact, Strattera is still under patent until 2017.

That is not locally made. It is from India, which often ignores patent laws.

It is not registered for use in Thailand.

Being not registered in Thailand usually means not available in Thailand (and not legal to import into or sell in Thailand). For drugs for which there is a huge demand (e.g. Indian made ED drugs) , some pharmacies will illegally import (or much more often, sell fake replicas). But I would not expect that to be the case with Strattera.

As has been mentioned, the price you paid included a substantial hospital mark up and you might be able to save a lot just by getting at a different hospital.

Strange as 2 different THAI hospitals in Bangkok prescribed it after a consultation and after we said that ritalin was not an option

      2nd Bank Account?

      I've got BBL, UOB, SCB, and KBANK, but I only actively use UOB and SCB. The other two are basically dormant. I have my reasons for not using them, but I don’t think anyone’s interested in all the details. Out of the two I use, one is for long-term savings and the other is for daily spending. That’s how I keep things separate. I’ve also seen people talking about keeping ฿4 to ฿5 million in Thai banks. Personally, I’d never do that. I think it’s risky. In fact, I’m currently reducing the amount I keep in Thailand, I've stopped bringing extra in and plan to keep as little here as possible moving forward. There have been a lot of confusing changes with how the banks operate lately, and things seem to be getting more difficult as time goes on. As a result, I don’t feel secure keeping large amounts in local banks anymore. If you need to maintain a balance for a family or retirement visa, fine, but I wouldn’t go much beyond that. Things are also becoming more unstable here at the moment, both politically and especially with what we’ve seen recently on the eastern front. Also, nobody knows if the stability of the Thai Baht will get disrupted in the future. So I wouldn't bet the farm by keeping too much in Thai Baht.

      I think you’re talking to the wrong person. I’m just responding to what SOMEONE ELSE has posted. My prerogative. Do you need a loan for bus fare? Are you still feeling “sick”? Silly me. I should of known my reply would attract the fan room dwellers.

      Armed Forces Summary of the Conflict on 27 July

      Picture courtesy of Royal Thai Armed Forces Headquarters (Facebook) The Royal Thai Armed Forces have issued a detailed summary of clashes along the Thai-Cambodian border on 27 July, also raising concerns that Cambodia may be preparing for a major military operation ahead of any proposed negotiations. According to a post on the official Facebook page of the Royal Thai Armed Forces Headquarters, the report, based on information from the Region 2 Army Operations Centre, confirms fighting across seven key areas, a slight decrease from ten on the previous day. Key Developments: • Chong Bok: Both sides remain heavily deployed. Intelligence suggests Cambodia is reinforcing Phu Makuea and Chong Anma. Thailand continues to hold positions based on operational map 1:50,000, while Cambodian forces are reportedly moving southward. • Phu Phee – Prasat Dontawal and Chong Ta Thao: Hostilities continue. Cambodian losses are believed to be significant, including the reported death of the commanding officer overseeing the area. • Front of Preah Vihear Temple: Skirmishes persist, with Cambodian snipers using the temple as a base to target Thai troops. Thailand retains control of Phu Makuea according to its operational plan. • Chong Chom: Cambodian forces shelled Thai civilian homes and attempted to deploy tanks near Chong Krang, approximately two kilometres from Prasat Ta Khwai. • Prasat Ta Muen Thom: Cambodian troops launched repeated offensives from the east. Thai forces responded with artillery fire, forcing a Cambodian withdrawal. Rocket Attack from Samrong At 06:30 on 27 July, Cambodia launched four rockets from Samrong airfield, damaging two Thai homes and killing five livestock. Thailand retained control of Chong Anma in Nam Yuen district, Ubon Ratchathani province. Cambodian forces continued attacks across several areas, including Chong Ta Thao, Preah Vihear, Phu Makuea, Chong Chom, Prasat Ta Khwai, and Prasat Ta Muen. The Thai military reported that Cambodia employed indiscriminate weaponry in violation of rules of engagement and humanitarian law, directly harming civilians. BM-21 Rocket Kills Thai Civilian A BM-21 rocket fired by Cambodia struck Saothongchai subdistrict in Kantharalak district, Si Sa Ket province. One civilian was killed and another injured. Thai military personnel provided first aid before transferring the injured to Si Sa Ket Hospital. Human and Material Toll (as of 27 July 2025): Civilians: • Dead: 14 • Critically Injured: 12 • Moderately Injured: 12 • Slightly Injured: 13 • Total Civilian Casualties: 51 Military Personnel: • Dead: 8 • Injured: 103 • Total Military Casualties: 111 Evacuation Efforts: A total of 139,646 civilians have been evacuated from high-risk areas into shelters across seven provinces, an increase of 3,720 from the previous day. Military Condemnation and Call for Public Cooperation The Thai Armed Forces expressed their deepest condolences to families affected by Cambodia’s cross-border actions, which were labelled as clear violations of Thai sovereignty and international humanitarian law. They also condemned the indiscriminate use of weaponry targeting civilians. The military further requested that the public and media refrain from sharing images of enemy casualties or disclosing operational details, citing national security concerns. The statement concluded with a reaffirmation of the Thai Armed Forces’ commitment to defending the nation’s sovereignty and ensuring the safety of its citizens.
