Why this is hard when you live here

Most long-stay arrivals hit the same wall: your prescription from home isn't dispensed here, the public system takes weeks to register you, and finding an English-speaking GP with availability can take longer than the medication you have left. Meanwhile the treatment you take every day simply runs out.

A private consultation solves the immediate problem: no carte Vitale, no social security number, no médecin traitant required — just a valid French prescription so your pharmacy can dispense.

Each case is reviewed individually. Remote renewal suits treatments that are stable and well tolerated. The doctor may decline and recommend an in-person examination or recent blood tests — in that case no prescription is issued and your card is not charged.

How it works

Next time your treatment is due, we can send you a discreet reminder so you don't run out — one message, and you can unsubscribe in one tap. You always fill in the form again, and the doctor reviews it again: nothing is renewed automatically.

Frequently asked questions

Can I renew a foreign prescription in France?

Prescriptions written outside France are often refused by French pharmacies, particularly from outside the EU. The reliable route is a new prescription written by a French-registered doctor.

Do I need a carte Vitale or a médecin traitant?

No. This is a private consultation: no carte Vitale, no French social security number and no declared médecin traitant required.

What if the doctor declines?

Some treatments need an in-person examination or recent tests. If the doctor declines, no prescription is issued and your card is not charged — the hold is simply released.

Is this for emergencies?

No. For an emergency, dial 112 (or 15 in France). This service is for non-urgent renewals and everyday medical needs.
