Dear Martin,
Since May 26, 2022 I have been living in Satuek, Buriram and had brought enough medicines from the Netherlands. Now the stock is starting to dwindle and have asked around here and here the following are not here. My question is where could I buy this, order it or any replacements for this one.
It concerns Pantoprazole 40mg, Lisonopril 20mg and Acetylsalic acid cardio 80mg, all of which were caused by myocardial infarction in 2012.
Age 67, 172cm, 91kg, non smoker and very little alcohol.
Regards,
C.

Dear C,
Acetylsalicylic acid is also known as aspirin. Aspirin 81 can be purchased here. Take after breakfast. Pantoprazole (Pantocid) is normally also available here, but if not, buy Omeprazole 20. Take before breakfast. Lisinopril is available under the name lisinopril, or lispril. Take in the evening.
Take the boxes to the pharmacy. That helps.
Sincerely,
Dr. Maarten
