Not sure if this is correct, but I tried to get my brand “Coumadin” at the hospital but they only had generic. I was on antibiotics at the time but my inr was out significantly afterwards.
Normally generic medicines are ok but I was told by my pharmacy at home to avoid warfarin generics. So I always bring plenty of

Call into a Public Hospital. Wait patiently... See the Dr. Tell him you are looking for Warfrin and he will write you a Script for them.
If there is no numerical Restrictions on them... then he will write you a script for 3 months.
You will pay the Thai price for them. There is no Farang Pricing for Drugs in Thai Public Hospitals...

Graeme Drake Out of curiosity, where are you buying low dose aspirin? I have only been able to get it from Medisafe, which is great but a big trip for me. It seems to be very hard to get here, pharmacies all talk vaguely about regulations.
