https://bangkokdrugstore.com/
i have checked this and is more expensive as i am buying in udon ,concerning all the medications we need ;)
I second this recommendation.

I would also add https://healthfoodthailand.com/en/ for supplements. This online store is does free shipping on Sunday orders too!
Agree, this Bangkok Drug Store is more expensive than the large Chinese shop in town
I'll give it a shot. Where's this large Chinese shop in town located?

One thing to remember, if the Drug Store doesn't have Air Conditioning there's a chance the medication may be affected.

I think the best Pharmacy I have found is Somsak Pharmacy directly across from the Ban Huay market. He, his wife, and his daughter speak and read/write fluent English. The wife is form the Philippines. If you need something they do not have they will order. You can call them on the phone and tell them what you need to be sure and have it on time. They will call you when the item arrives. Prices seem to be compatible with others. And yes, it is completely air conditioned where the medicine is stored. They will also make recommendations as to a good off the shelf medicine for minor ailments.

Found it yesterday. Quite busy, but I did get parked across the street. They didn't have what I wanted, offered a two-part substitute, same as another recommended local pharmacy (near Global House east). I didn't ask if they could order what I was looking for and they never offered but I did accept their substitute as needed ahead of New Year travel.

Their prices were 40 baht more than online Bangkok Drugstore (same 30-tablet pack substitute).

No precise location given or mention of phone number...handy.

Google reveals there's Somsak Pharmacy in Korat and Chiang Mai, among others. But did find this. Correct or not?

So now I know Ban Huay Market is the name of the one on Udondutsadi that buggers up traffic, thanks!

Is this Somsak's?

If you Google Ban Huay Market Udon Thani you will get a detailed map. The Pharmacy is directly across the street at the traffic light. You can park at the market and walk across the street. Parking is sometimes full but usually available.

If a pharmacy is a little cheaper then OK. But if is a lot I begin to wonder about the source of the drugs. I would bet that most of the local Pharmacies get their drugs from the same source.
