This is the class under angiotensin receptor blockers. So according to the drugs law it needs a prescription. I dont know how it is in VN
but why dont you try in Vietnam form??

If its made under license its no cheaper here then Oz, finding a true generic is the best bet.

Go look up OTC Pharmacy - last post - they speak English.

It took me less time to SEARCH for it than type it.
