Subutex, Lyrica.

Zyban, Champix

Advil CS and GenPayne or Myprodol. Struggling to find medication strong enough to cope with migraine. 

Methocarbamol for muscle spasm

And I forgot the Epinephrine autoinjecto (EPI Pen) for anaphylactic shocks o.e.

After we had to use the pen from our Emergency Kit it is hard to get a new one..

Good morning.

I am not able to get Wellbutrin (anti-depressant). We used it in South Africa. We did try Buletrip SR-150, which seems to be working and is not too expensive. You can buy this without a script.

There is a possibility that you can ask your GP (in Mauritius) to write a prescription and then communicate with your home country pharmacy. You can then request to get permission to import this medication yourself with a motivation and script from your local GP and the details of your pharmacy in your home country.

This might take a while to be approved and I have not started the process yet so I am not clear on all the details.

Hope this helps.

I was able to find Bupropion (Wellbutrin).  See my October 4, 2022 post:

I got round this by buying the adrenaline and syringe from my local pharmacy

@Anne-Lise Mty I got hold of a copy of the approved list of pharmaceutical products by the pharmaceutical board and went through it for my medication. I then could advise my chemist which company to obtain it from if it was available in Mauritius. What I couldn't find, I then googled for the generics and then followed the same procedure until I found what was available in Mauritius. I was finally able to obtain all of the meds or generics.

nicotine spray for example from nicorette there are other brands also
