I'd try either of the Somsak Pharmacies.......across from the Bangkok Bank on Phosri Rd or across from Ban Hui market on the corner. The pharmacists there both speak English and are certified pharmacists.
Out on a limb here........but in a months-ago discussion about the difficulty buying aspirin with one of the pharmacists at Forte, she said something about Reye's Syndrome. She succumbed to my request to purchase some 81mg pills......hesitated when I said I wanted 180 (my wife and I take a daily tab), but allowed me to do so. On a recent trip back to the US I bought a boatload.
There's a 55 page document that talks about Reye's Syndrome, aspirin, paracetamol at http://elib.fda.moph.go.th/fulltext2/word/16991/2.pdf One of the t.i.t. moments (for me).......the ease of getting high potency creams like dermovate or antibiotics........but aspirin? Oh, no.
Aspirin.....Controlled Substance?
Re: Aspirin.....Controlled Substance?
I take aspirin every day and have had no problem getting them in Udon. I got a 4 month supply last time from the Pharmacy accross from the fruit market as you come into town from the Nong Khai direction. ( I won't try to spell the name).
Re: Aspirin.....Controlled Substance?
That's Somsak's. Father and daughter are both pharmacists.
Re: Aspirin.....Controlled Substance?
Yes and they are very nice and helpful.
Re: Aspirin.....Controlled Substance?
finding aspirin in udon is not the problem , finding the special coated aspirin is , normal aspirin daily will damage your stomach ...i still get them from abroad ...
