July 20, 20169 yr Shingles (a viral infection and an adult form of chicken pox) is a common occurrence in the elderly. Treating Shingles: Acyclovir 80-mg tablet, an anti-viral, 5 times a day at 4-hour intervals, for 7 days. A 35-tablet regime. Most local pharmacies carry Acyclovir-80, priced at about 850-900 baht for this 35-tablet regime. Additional treatment of Shingles: Zostavax vaccine. A single dose shot. Said to ost about 8,000 baht in Chiang Mai hospitals, but availability uncertain. Anyone happen to know of current availability in Chiang Mai? Details please.
