Can I find fructaid and lactojoy or similar medications over the counter in Thailand?
Very random question but can anyone tell me if it’s possible to get fructaid and lactojoy - or something similar (over the counter medications to help with fructose and lactose intolerance) in Thailand? Or should I try and bring like a years worth with me 😂😂😂
Answer summary
The post discusses the availability of over-the-counter medications for fructose and lactose intolerance in Thailand. Commenters suggest that while lactose pills and lactose-free milk (like almond milk) are available, it's advisable to check with local pharmacies such as Diamond Pharmacy for specific brands. They also recommend bringing some supplies from home, as certain medications may only be available through orders from abroad.

I think you should bring a supply with you. Just looking quickly for the two medications you mentioned it looks like most would have to be ordered from the US. Maybe there are local equivalents but unless you can determine that I would bring a supply with you. Also, it's likely to be less expensive than what you will get here.

If the pharmacy can not help you I’m sure if you see a Dr at a nearby hospital they will be able to give you something but yes bring some supplies with you until you can find out where to buy the stuff you want good luck

They are one of the largest pharmacies in Thailand, and sell MOST over the counter drugs (which is most drugs)

There is a restriction with bringing medication into Thailand. Check the embassy website.

i dont think lactose pills count as medication, they are dietary suppliments. My wife has brought hindreds of pills i at a time since we could not find them here (although our luggage has never been searched so cant sayvfor sure what they would doo)

They definitely have lactose pills, lactose free milk, and almond milk.

where can you find lactose pills in Thailand. We have looked (my wife need them) but have been importing from the US as could not find any here.

awesome! Thank you 🙂 hopefully they have something like fructaid too. I was thinking they would but last time I was there I was undiagnosed so wasn’t on the lookout. Activity
