Questions and answers
Can I choose a French medicine for diabetes 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.
