I don't know the actual price of the first 2 except to say they are cheap. In fact I have 110 Amlodipine that I don't need anymore (Exp. 10/25) that you are welcome to have free of charge. PM me if you'd like them - I will only throw them out when expired.

I myself needed a month's worth of Rivaroxaban last year, so I went round 4 or 5 chemists in town and the price was the same..about 4500b per 30 tablet box (20mg)..& each chemist would not split a box & sell you strips individually.
Now..because I get these free on the UK's NHS.. last week I had some mailed over..& they were here (door to door) in 7 days..which I thought was very
creditable.. :thumb:
My other daily meds are statins..again 20mg..(Atorvin 20)..I needed 70 tablets and they came to 1300b The shop I used is in a small block of shops..almost opposite Blueport,
Southbound carriage way..& the chemist there DID break open a box & sell me 1 or 2 strips out of it to make up my desired number. :bow:

Hope this info helps...U.S.

We (BB clan) find the pharmacy on the corner opposite Baan Khun Por to be the best at the moment - very helpful as well.

I think you'll find Simvastatin and Amlodipine to be much cheaper than U.S.'s Atorvin.
