NormanH Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I don't know as I am not diabetic, but I very much doubt it.Pharmacies in France are more heavily regulated than in the UK.It is big business too: no cheap paracetamol for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinabee Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 If you look on this website you can search for a brand name medication, or if that is not available, look for the active ingredient, e.g. Eltroxin is levothyroxine Click on the specific medication and it will tell you whether prescription is needed (Médicament soumis à prescription médicale) and sometimes gives the pricehttp://sante-az.aufeminin.com/w/sante/medicaments/alphabetique-l.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
