Health Care In Thailand: Medication And Other Things You Can Buy Over-The-Counter At Your Local Thai Pharmacy

I knew, when I first moved to Thailand, that it was easier to buy certain medications over the counter at a pharmacy in Thailand. What I didn't know was how easy and how many medications I could actually buy over the counter that are definitely not available in the US or UK. In Thailand, buying medicine is also very cheap (often less than 10% of what you pay in the US) and, even if they don't have the brand you need, there are Thai brands you can buy that will do the same thing. If you're in Thailand or planning on coming to Thailand soon, it would definitely benefit you to stock up on any medications you might need and, to help you along, here's an idea of what you can buy at almost any Thai pharmacy.

Antibiotics - A lot of antibiotics that you have to get a doctor's prescription for in the US are available over the counter in Thailand. Things like Penicillin, Ciprofloxacin, Bactrim and a whole host of other antibiotics are available over the counter. Also, even if you need an antibiotic that isn't over the counter in Thailand, a quick (and very cheap!) visit to a doctor will get you a prescription. Every time my parents come to visit me in Thailand, my mother stocks up on antibiotics she might need because, at less than $2.50 per packet, they're worth having in the medicine cabinet. Of course, I'm not a proponent of antibiotics, very rarely taking them myself as I know what the health risks are, but, if you have taken them in the past or are taking them, you might as well buy them in Thailand. I do buy them for my rabbits, though, as one of them has a reoccurring problem with an ear infection that a quick dose of crushed up Cipro in a saline solution and rinsed around the ear always does the job.

Birth Control - Birth control pills are available on the shelf at any pharmacist in Thailand. Starting at around a $1 for a month's supply, if you take any birth control pills and are visiting Thailand, you'll be able to get your brand here or a Thai brand that offers the same protection. Condoms too are available at pharmacies (as well as supermarket, 7-11s etc) but, be warned, many of my Western male friends say, because Thais are shorter in stature, penis size seems to also be relative. So, if you buy a Medium in the west, you're probably likely to need a Large in Thailand. (Then again, my western friends could just be bragging, right?)

Anti Depressants - Readily available over the counter, I have several Thai friends who take them quite regularly when their stress levels increase because of work. Of course, you need to be careful with something like this, and really shouldn't be self-medicating but, if you've had a prescription from a doctor and just need a refill, you can buy many brands of anti-depressant over the counter. Xanax is available, Valium, Ketamine, and Zyban (almost the same as Wellbutrin) as well as several other Thai brands. Ask the pharmacist if you're not sure. In most of the larger pharmacies, the pharmacist will speak enough English to be able to help you and most of them really know their stuff. They will also tell you what's readily available over the counter, and what you'll have to go to a doctor to get a prescription for.

Coughs and Colds - Just about any cough and cold medication you can buy over the counter in Thailand. Nyquil, Dayquil and a whole host of other things are available, as well as lots of Thai brands that, in many cases, actually seem to work better than the western brands. Most pharmacies will also carry the Chinese medications and, if you ask the pharmacist, they'll recommend something you can take that will do the job. Also medications like Tylenol, Aspirin and Alleve are in every pharmacy.
