Availability of medicines

sharmaritachetty

Hi, I've tried to ascertain whether my medication is available in Mauritius. The Registrar of the Pharmacy Council referred me to the Pharmacy Board of Mauritius but such an entity, from my enquiry on the internet, doesnt appear to exist.

Can anyone assist me by providing an email address for the entity which will be able to indicate whether the medication is available for sale in Mauritius.

No email address for you, but does this help? I see the list includes the names of local reps, and importers.

Hi

mauritian expat, medic but not practicing in mru. I suggest your best bet, if you are already in mru to go around the big pharmacies in portlouis with the medicine leaflet and directly asking the pharmacist about availability. Otherwise I would suggest to bring a supply from India with attached medical prescription if you are challenged at customs.

Don't waste your time about emailing, they never reply.

Hello,


But why from India ? The OP is not from India...

Good day, I'm not from India, I'm South African.


One expat has already sent me a list of medicines available in Mauritius and another has supplied the email addresses of the major pharmaceutical firms there.

Good day, MedActiv responded: they even provided a quotation for my meds in Mauritian rupees. Very grateful for your recommendation and for the information I received from them.
