Visiting St Jean en Royans? How French pharmacies work
Unlike in the UK or US, over-the-counter medicine in France is sold only in pharmacies — supermarkets don't stock painkillers or cold remedies. Pharmacists are trained to give first-line advice for minor ailments and can often save you a doctor's visit. Prescriptions issued in the EU/EEA are generally accepted if the medicine is authorised in France. With a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC/GHIC) you still pay at the counter, then claim reimbursement from your home insurer — keep the receipt.
