I have tried every pharmacy in Udon for my heart meds. I found this place in Pattaya which l post to be cheaper than Udon. More so if you buy six months meds at a time.

LYM,
To answer more precisely you will need the mg/tablet as well.
Here are some example prices for some of your meds from BangkokDrugstore.com online:

YOUR CART

Januvia [Sitagliptin] 100 mg [Box of 28 tablets]
1 × ฿1,590.00
Jardiance Duo 12.5/1000 mg [Box of 60 tablets]
1 × ฿3,150.00
Lipostat [Atorvastatin] 40 mg [Box of 30 tablets]
1 × ฿420.00
Glucophage XR [Metformin] 750 mg [Box of 30 tablets]
1 × ฿260.00

I suggest toying with their website to check the meds you are looking for but like someone already mentioned Forte is always a good choice to check. They only do bank transfer (no cards) but I have used them and been happy with the shipping times.

Thanks for the information, Potamoi, that is really helpful. I better find some cheaper options for Januvia and Jardiance or I might be making a quick return to Canada, The prices are a shock since I was covered for all of my medications before through the high school where I worked. I always got 3 month supplies too. Januvia and jardiance alone would be around 63,000 baht/year for each..

Just for reference, Amazon US price:

Crazy big Parm pricing when no insurance or gov agency's helping out.

[Laan Yaa Mo]

Wow!!! That is an eye-opener.

[Potamoi]

Oh Canada...

I do my diabettes check ups at the Srinagarind Univerty Hospital Khon Kaen, I buy my meds there as they are way cheaper than any pharmacy in Udon, it might pay you to go there and see the specialist doctors there, they got me off Metformin a couple of years ago as there are now better treatments available, very glad I went there, excellent hospital.

That's great to hear. I also need to get botox shots every once in awhile to fix a speech problem, and that hospital was recommended to me by my family doctor in Toronto. I'll definitely go there for treatment and medication. It sounds to be just what I need.

It might make things easier for you, the doctor I see is Dr Jin Sothornwit, an endocrinologist, I see her every 6 months, do blood tests and every 18 months eye tests. They are very thorough, where I see her is quite flash but its still the public system, I have no complaints at all, so much better than all the un qualified doctors I saw at Udon that are not progressive and up to date with all the advances being made. The new meds she put me on are working so much better than Metformin.
