First Floor Market Village. From Tesco walking towards Petchkasem, on your left you have the Tesco Food Court, the Bun and Bread Shop (don't know name), Watsons and Fascino - definitely worth a try in the first instance.

Our hotel nurse always recommends another Fasicino Branch, 62/1 Petchkasem Road, near the Night Market.

Just in case anyone was thinking of visiting the one in BlúPort, the last time I was in there they told me it would be closing by the end of March. Which is a shame as it was the closest to me and the one I've been using regularly since it opened.

It's still open, or was a couple of days ago. But stock is sparse. If it does shut, I hope that the one in MV or elsewhere will sell the same stock, One item I use I can only get from Bluport. I have always found that odd.

Thank you so much. If I had gone to the hospital it would have cost about 8000 bht including the doctor
Going to Fascino it cost me 1700

Valsarten and Doxasocin or something close as I have not got the boxes with me at the moment
Bendroflumothazide is not used here. Or so I was told. I used it in the UK and was prescribed Hydrochlorothiazide 25mg instead. I originally lived in Korat when moving here and my original GP, a friend of my other half, said this was fine and I checked with my nephew, a GP in the UK, and he agreed. And it was.

If a chemist or GP agrees, don't buy any, as I have loads and I no longer use them. It was discovered that the tabs I used them with were causing me gout! So I am now on a completely different medicine instead, You're welcome to mine, they expire 14.12.20.

Edit - just seen your asthmatic - me too.
I would like to take you up on your kind offer. I have PMd you

Try the Pharmacy half way down the Night Market by the entrance to Chathai Market. The owner's two children work there and are trained Pharmacists. They stock a lot more than Fascino including medications that are normally only available on prescription. If not in stock will order in, I get my blood thinners there, the alternative being a hospital doctor visit for a prescription . Price is always reasonable.
