I am having a hard time finding a specific dietary supplement that my wife uses. It seems that she can only get from a chinese drug store (for a reasonable price) and I know that they have carried it in stock but getting phone numbers for chinese drug stores in the Manila area has been quite a hurdle.

If anyone knows of phone numbers for said places of business in or near Manila (makati, etc.) please post them here or email them to me at meds@fiddlers.us.

As well, if you know of any NAMES and SPECIFIC LOCATIONS of chinese drug stores please forward these to me as well and I will find out the phone numbers.

It would be better if these places are not in a mall, because EVERYTHING is more expensive in a mall, but I'll take whatever I can get.

Thanks,
CB

theres one chinese store hear nearby araneta center (near the mrt station) in cubao ( just ask the guards) . you can drop by there i suggest ask a filipina/filipino to buy one for u sometimes there are misconception that if a foreigner buys especially citizens from america , they would raise there price. ( sometimes filipino can haggle with the vendor to get a discount) hope this helps.

i do believe they have this booth/stands in the mall like SM... a friend of a friend works at SM selling all different kinds of chinese vitamins, chinese beauty products and chinese diet pills and food supplement... you can ask her family if they could find it there for her too... easier that way. good luck!

You can also go to Ongpin St. in Sta. Cruz/Binondo area in Manila.There are many Chinese drug stores there along with Chinese restaurants, bakeshops and groceries.

FYI, the OP and his wife are already here in the US. Not unless they are thinking about going back to the Philippines for this, I think they wanted to know if there's a website or a contact person where they could find what they're looking for.
