Any experience buying medication on line

Recommended Posts

Has anyone any experience of buying medication on line from France? If so can u suggest any sites - some I have tried in France are for chemists only, whereas the US sites will sell to anyone. I have repeat prescriptions for blood pressure tablets and various pain killers.

Thanks

Hello Washy,

You need to be very careful here. I would strongly advise you against trying to "screw the system" by way of these on-line offers. You will be much better off affiliating into the French system. Your prescribed medication will be covered either 35% or 65% (depending on the colour of the label!) and a "top up" insurance can cover the difference even though this is a pre-existing condition. The reason for this is the unique character of healthcare funding in France and the associated insurance law.

Go the legal route!
