Hi

Does anybody know if it's possible to buy Diclofenac Sodium tablets/caps Over The Counter in Thailand i.e without prescription?

For the avoidance of doubt, it's an anti-inflammatory medication

Would be grateful for advice.

100% YES ......... on South Pattaya road going toward the beach from Second Road junction it can be bought very cheaply at the always reliable Sang-A-Nant pharmacy ........... also available at the new Fascino Pharmacy on South Pattaya Road just across from Wat Chai. ........ likely to be available from most pharmacies in the area.

Just to add to the replies, there are 25mg, 50mg, 75mg and 100mg tablets available, usually around 100baht a strip of 10, as tradename Voltaren and other generic brands. Even Boots sells them, but at inflated prices. Also available in gel form

I know some of the Pattaya residents are accused of being predators, but how about this?
