Guest Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 As LOS merges further and further into International trade markets, they will have to conform more or risk losing their status. Last year I met 3 senior investigators from, of all companies, Pinkertons. They have massive contracts with Disney, Nike and other giants to root out the fake goods, right down to the small vendors........... and they take their jobs VERY seriously. It is only time til most of it dries up. It will never all be completely gone, but it will not be the norm either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackspratt Posted November 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 This thread seems to have lost its way a bit, and must be in danger of being moved to the Shopping area. Any news on the original question ie easy access (or not) to Vitamin V or generics. Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end, this is a shopping question, isn't it? I bought some Penegra two days before from my fave pharmacy and he couldn't confirm the crack-down rumours. May be, the best is to stock and be prepared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 Reading the reports in the Bangkok-Post during the last, you may be right, there can be something come forward. As of today, there was a warning not to use/ buy Chinese generic products on the cover page, some days ago they reported raiding a pharmacy selling illegal medicine.

Guest Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 Not sure if this is the place for this question but here goes. To get drugs like viagra,cialais and their clones in Mainland China do you need a prescription or is it like Thailand just go to a pharmacy. Thanks for you replies.

jackspratt Posted December 15, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2003 Can only speak about Beijing - you need a script, and the price, as quoted to me, was "about the same as the US". Fortunately, I am able to stock up frequently in LOS. Previously, I had viagra mailed from Oz with no China Customs problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Scrutinizer Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 All, They are also cracking down on other medicines you'd usually need a prescription for in the West, but could once buy over the counter in most any pharmacy here. I used to be able to buy right over the counter Tylenol #2 with codiene for about 10 baht per pill. Now they've told the pharmacies not to sell these without a script, at least not to sell them to farang without a script anyway it seems. My Thai wife has no problem getting these now over the counter, still, but if I am with her most places will not sell them to her/me. (I use them for my spinal injury when in serious pain, and yes, they were prescribed to me in the states by my doctor-Tylenol #3's, which have twice the codiene as the Thai #2's. I like them because it is easier to get a smaller dosage which works better for me than the stronger #3's from the states, which knock me on my ass and make it harder to function when dosing for pain, and because they are cheaper here too.) It looks like they are cracking down on the pharmacies in other meds than just the Viagra and such. Although it looks to me that it is just for the farangs they are applying this crackdown to, not the native Thais. Cent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCgringo Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 when I was in BKK a few weeks ago even Penerga was "hidden" in the pharmacy you would ask for it and they would pull it out of another hidden place , but not on the shelf like the other drugs, maybe they were getting some "heat" and were keeping it low profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
