HI: I have been living in Thailand for just over 5 years now and formerly lived in Phuket where I my family doctor was in the Bangkok Hospital in Phuket. I have married and am living now in Si Rattana, approximately 40 minutes from the Sisaket Hospital. I would like to have a family doctor in Sisaket or other nearby local hospital, however the medications that I require are not I am told, for unknown to me reasons, available at any of these hospitals. I even travelled to Ubon Ratchathani to no avail. Instead, apparently the nearest hospital that carries the needed medications, is the Bangkok Hospital in Khon Kaen, some 300 km and approx. 4.5 hours distant! I believe that I can obtain the necessary doctor's checkup and blood tests done locally, but need somehow to obtain the required medications. The medications are as follows:
Micardis (40 mg); MaDIPlot (20 mg); Lipitor (40 mg); Nexium (20 mg); and Sifrol (125mcg)
Generic names are as follows: telmisartan; manidipine; atorvastatin calcium; esomeprazole sodium; and Pramipexole dihydrochloride monohydrate
Can anyone advise as to whether it is possible to obtain these medications online? Any advice, assistance will be much appreciated.
