Finding prescription meds that are not commonly available in Mauritius

Is there a pharmacy in Mauritius where I can buy Bupropion** (aka Wellbutrin or Zyban).

I've tried pharmacies in Flic en Flac, Cascavelle, and at the Super U in Tamarin. No joy.

I can probably import it, but it's a hassle (because it is a prescription drug) and probably expensive.

Someone commented in a thread on a different website that Zyban was available in Curepipe. Unfortunately, they did not say where.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

@Starry Expanse I don't believe you'll find it OTC at any pharmacy. Best to consult a doctor and get a prescription for it or equivalent. Hunting for it all over the show will not help as its a prescription med. Good luck

I found Bupropion by contacting HyperPharm (info@hyperpharm.mu).

I subsequently got an email from Nautica Pharmacy in Black River (south of Tamarin) saying they had it in stock.

I don't know if they always carry Bupropion, so I recommend contacting them first.
