Selection by indication
French medicines with antiviral action
Antivirals registered in France for influenza and herpesvirus infections. All are prescription medicines. Medicines such as Arbidol, Ingavirin or Kagocel do not exist in France: they are not registered in the EU.

Questions and answers
Can I choose a French medicine with antiviral action without a doctor?
No. The selection shows which medicines are registered in France, but a doctor decides on the prescription, dose and any substitution. A manager helps with reference information and ways to obtain a medicine, not with choosing a treatment.
How do I find out the price guide and terms?
The medicine page and the catalog show a guide based on BDPM data, excluding delivery. It is not an offer to sell: a manager confirms current details and terms in a free consultation, usually within 2 hours during working hours.
What if the medicine I need is not in the selection?
Search the catalog by its Russian or French name or by active ingredient. If you cannot find it, write to a manager, who will check whether the medicine or an equivalent exists in France.
