Iām not a diabetic but I would have thought a prescription was needed. You can make an appointment with a GP and get them to give you a checkup and prescription. Youāll have to pay of course,
You need a prescription, they are widely available and the box of 5 you showed above will cost about ā¬45. Someone in the French system would be reimbursed a minimum of 65%. We donāt really have chain chemists.
You need to ask your UK doctor to give you a cross-border prescription, which you fill at any pharmacy. The only chains are parapharmacies and they donāt provide prescribed drugs. Or if you are over here for three months or less bring them with you - you can get big enough cool bags.
Please can you tell us a little about yourselfā¦
Iāve already asked which country you will be coming from⦠and Iām intrigued to know why you are coming⦠Holiday or Workā¦???
ādeparting countryā will play a major part in what the OP can and cannot do⦠re medications etc⦠they are all so different.
eg what can be transported in cool bags⦠verboten in some situations I believeā¦
and the scenarios of Holiday and Work⦠are very different and throw up different Health/Medical Insurance needs/means
Had I asked for shoe size or favourite colour⦠that, I agree, might get me verbally smackedā¦
Perhaps we are all finally succumbing to coronavirusitisā¦
Cheers, Sorry, I couldnāt really reply to anyone until I could grab my computer.
Well, Iām originally from Spain, but Iām traveling from the united states because I live over here.
I do have a medical insurance, that of course on the policy covers me in any foreign country for a good amount, in case of any emergency Iāll be taken out of it and sent back to where I live
Iām just going to visit around, to check on some friends, I have acquaintances and friends in both Paris and Bordeaux, and the south of France too, and I plan to visit them all.
My name itās Oscar, not too far away from Stanley Kubrick I honestly didnāt knew I had to use like my legitimate name and surname
