bbbbjjjj Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Yes you can buy doxycycline without prescription, I haven't found azithromycin available for sale though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buttdart Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Got Azithromycin from a pharmacy around Asoke BTS. Biggest pharmacy I've found, though, is right off Soi nana, next to the Mcdonald's/7-11/gas station. Huge selection and open late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I picked up some doxycycline 100mg from Boots, a 10 capsule foil pack went for B100. Some smaller pharmacies are a bit cheaper. No prescription needed. I actually did have a sore throat but not from carpet munching. The lady at boots wanted to sell me a Zpack for B300 instead, she was insistent that it was much better at clearing up a bacterial throat infection than doxycycline. We debated the merits of broad spectrum antibiotics (doxycycline) versus something that is specifically used to treat strep or tonsillitis. Allergies made doxycycline the better choice for me.

Thanks for the heads-up, didn't know boots had Z packs. Had some from America before but used em up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar4 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Got Azithromycin from a pharmacy around Asoke BTS. Biggest pharmacy I've found, though, is right off Soi nana, next to the Mcdonald's/7-11/gas station. Huge selection and open late. From what I understand Boots is very expensive. The pharmacy in Nana mentioned above is the one I use. Sure to have both Zpack and doxy. Cheers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimao Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Update 8/5/13 Went to the pharmacy near nana around 2am. The large one was closed so I went to the smaller one closer to macdonalds. Asked for Zpack- they didn't have but had various similar options. I got Azycin 6 caps 250mg Azithromycin. Cost, 150 baht Asked for Imitrex (migraine med) they had Imigran 50 mg sumatriptan 2 tablets. 300 baht. Asked for Apcalis (Thai brand cialis) they had real cialis (2,000 baht) and Sidegra, Sildenafil (Viagra) 100mg 4 tablets 180 baht. I opted for the cheap one and will try it out.

Simple-Man Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 A sore throat from carpet munching? Unfortunately, that is the only fairly safe thing out there. http://www.sfcityclinic.org/stdbasics/stdchart.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
