How can I get my medication prescribed and filled in Thailand as an expat?

To get a prescription filled for medication in Thailand as an expat, it's usually best to start by visiting a local pharmacy. Many pharmacies can dispense medications without a prescription, especially for non-controlled substances. However, for specific drugs, particularly injectables or controlled medications, you might need to see a doctor. You can either contact a local rheumatologist directly or visit a hospital, as hospitals often provide comprehensive care and medication management. Recommendations include bringing your prescription bottle for reference, and considering options like MedConsult Clinic for medication needs.
