Sounds like (like me) you take some expensive meds. I don't know if all those are available in Hua Hin but your best and cheapest bet is South East pharmacy on Sukhumvit road in Bangkok (near Soi 15, about half way between the Nana BTS station and the Asoke station, a bit closer to Asoke). They're a wholesale pharmacy that have the biggest selection and lowest prices in the country. I just go up there about once every 3 or 4 months and get my supply... saves me 30 to 40% over Hua Hin Prices.
My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?

Agreed - the Pharmacy near Asoke is the cheapest place - very near to Robinsons Department Store.
Here in Hua Hin 10 Lipitor tablets cost 600 baht the last time I bought , but at the Pharmacy in BKK they are 405 baht.

I travel to BKK every 3/4 months and stock up and I save more than the cost of the return fare.

In Hua Hin, try the big Chinese pharmacy on the corner of PK and Chomsin. I find them about the cheapest and are very widely stocked. The best person to speak to there is the Chinese guy who speaks reasonable English. Just in case of pronunciation difficulties, take along the packets containing the pills and show them to him

Failing that I would try at Bangkok Hospital......
