Drugstores
 

I was in BKK the first of Sept and was able to get Viagri but then went I went back the the first of November, about 4 stores told me that you had to have doctors prescription. Does anyone know whats going on? apparently you can no longer get it over the counter.

For sleeping pills I get Alprazolam which used to be easy to get now may be 1 in 2 drugstores have it.

Thanks,hcm.....
can we get them without doctor's prescription?
Which drugstores in particular can get them without presciption???

There's been a tightening up on access to controlled pharmaceuticals over the past few years. I'm surprised to hear that even 1 in 2 will still part with Alprazolam (Xanax).... for sure the days of the quart bottles of Valium on the pharmacy counter are gone.

The enforcement seems to come in fits and spurts, but the overall trend is a tightening up on illegal sales of pharmaceuticals.

I use the drugstores on Sukhumvit - closer to the Nana road end. No prescription.

yeah that's what i thought... the rules and regulation had been tightened lately....will try sukhimvit then... thanks hcm

Other places to try:

Southeast Pharmacy, on Sukhumvit near Soi 15.

BC Rajprasong Pharmacy, 2nd floor of Amarin Plaza.

You obvioulsy get a higher hit rate if your original population is skewed to more likely places (ie exclude Boots etc). Having said that two of the original places not selling today - only one was.

Sent enquirer a PM.

Actually went into 6 places near Nana and only one selling (so different from 2 months ago) - interesting that in the 5 that were not I was served by females and the one that was successful was served by a male. Statistically significant?

The one near soi 15 was where I originally bought from some years ago and ever since until 2 months ago when for the first time could not buy - thus the hunt for other places.

Thank you,hcm & icon for directions.
Will try m luck with the male saleman then;)


Hmm....did not seem to get your pm,hcm.....may be something wrong with my pc....Thanks anyway
