Hello,
I'm coming to Cambodia for a year to teach. I'll be living about 30 km outside of Phnom Penh. I take Levothyroxine (generic for Synthroid--a synthetic thyroid hormone). I'll be bringing about a six-month supply with me, but will eventually need to get more while I'm there. It's a very common drug, used everywhere in the world, so I'm assuming it's available in Phnom Penh.
Does anyone know what it costs? And will I need a prescription, or will a pharmacy sell me some if I bring in a recent bottle of the same medication?
Thanks.
Availability and Cost of Levothyroxine

The smallish pharmacy that I use has 25, 50, 75, and 100 mcg available. 30 tablets of the 100 mcg is $3.70. The box says it's made by Merck in Lyon, France. No prescription needed. There are many larger pharmacies in Phnom Penh that probably have different brands and dosages.
