Buying blood pressure medication, over the couter Saudi.

I have high bp too and I have been told by the pharmacist that you can buy it over the counter along with many other types of common medication such as diabetes related and high cholesterol etc.  However, I haven't actually bought it yet as I still have some that I brought with me from my country.

Thanks very much for your information,  lots of helpful folks on this forum.
it's amazing that isn't more information online.
Anyhow now i know.
To buy generics here is very much less expensive than the hospitals.
All thd best

Pitch 306 is right, you can just get it here over the counter and dont worry you can have the generics too. i noticed medicine here is much cheaper compared to my country (Im from Philippines)

Thanks for that, I live in Phuket and it's cheap, I should imagine not much different to Philippines,
I didn't want to get more medicine here and get into trouble on arrival,  it's great news that it's available over the counter.

lina I would be there in riyadh for medical field as well. which one is cheaper to live in compound or live in studio alone outside.

Hello everyone! I also had problems with high blood pressure and I live in Saudi Arabia. The natural remedy Tonosil helped me, which can be purchased here without a prescription. It contains garlic, lemon balm, hawthorn, and vitamins B6 and D3. Try it, maybe it will help you too.
