From November, patients, their families or representatives will be able to travel to Dhaka in
Bangladesh and collect Triko and/or Bexdeco tablets directly from the manufacturer,
Beximco Pharmaceuticals. Orders for collection can be placed now, with payments taken later.
Before you make travel plans
Before taking this step or making any travel arrangements, please first check the personal importation
regulations in your own country — including whether personal importation of these medicines is
permitted, what documentation may be required, and any limits on the quantity that can be brought home.
The process below sets out each stage, from first contact with Beximco Pharma through to collecting your
medicine in Dhaka.
How collection works
Step 1
Email your documents to Beximco Pharma
The patient or their representative should email Beximco Pharma with the required documents, such as the
prescription and medical report (English version). If the prescription is unavailable due to a valid reason,
the medical report alone may be submitted.
Step 2
Evaluation of your prescription
Beximco Pharma will evaluate the prescription and/or medical report. If the submitted information meets the
requirements, Beximco Pharma shall arrange localization of the prescription and revert the same to the
patient or their representative.
Step 3
Receive your pro-forma invoice
Based on the prescribed dosage and the number of packs (30-tablet packs) the patient wishes to purchase,
Beximco Pharma will issue a pro-forma invoice in USD along with the bank details for
payment.
Step 4
Invitation letter and visa
Beximco Pharma shall issue an invitation letter to patients who plan to visit Dhaka. Citizens of
approximately 40–50 countries are generally eligible for a Visa on Arrival (VOA) in
Bangladesh. Please refer to the link below for the terms and conditions, eligibility criteria, and the list
of eligible countries. We recommend checking your country’s visa status and obtaining a visa in
advance, if necessary, before making your travel plans. The Visa on Arrival fee is USD 50,
payable in cash.

Step 5
Complete payment before you travel
Beximco Pharma kindly requests that payment be completed before you leave your country of residence, as
bank clearance typically takes 2–3 business days. They will confirm receipt of the
payment as soon as the bank clearance process is completed.
Step 6
Travel, transfers and handover
Patients or their representatives are requested to share their travel itinerary at least
5 days before arriving in Dhaka. Beximco Pharma shall arrange airport transfers to and from
the hotel for patients and their representatives. If hotel booking assistance is required, Beximco Pharma
will be pleased to help and advise you. The medicine will usually be handed over at their Head Office (HO) in
Dhanmondi on the next working day. Beximco Pharma will also arrange transportation between the hotel and the
Head Office. If the patient or representative is interested in visiting the Beximco Pharma manufacturing
facility, they will be happy to arrange the visit as well.
