[QUOTE="Prem51, post: 2115304, member: 209498"] Metafornin is widely available without prescription at most pharmacies - don't buy from private hospitals as it will be expensive. At pharmacies 500 mg Metafornin/Glucophage tablets can cost between 200 Baht (about £5.50) for 100 in big city pharmacies. In other places it will cost as little as 90 Baht (£2.50) for 100 tablets, or you can buy a blister pack of 10 for around 22 Baht (45p). The Slow Release version is available too, though probably not so widely. I don't know how much that costs. I'm thinking of buying some to bring back if my GP doesn't prescribe it at my next HbA1c as I think I might be going back into the diabetic range. Note that not all medications are easily available. I couldn't buy Thyroxene tablets over the counter, I was told I would need a prescription. [/QUOTE]
