In another thread (Buying insulin while in Canada) I discussed our experience in buying insulin in Canada. Over the past few weeks, we needed to purchase insulin in Spain and in France.
-
We were able to buy without a prescription in both places. I am not sure if it is because it is legal or because it is not strongly enforced.
-
We purchased disposable novolog (novorapid) pens in Spain for 48 Euros per box of 5, which is about US$55.
-
We purchased FIASP in France for 34 Euros per pack of 5 cartridges, which is amazingly cheap ($39). It is the cheapest I have seen insulin so far anywhere we have been, including Central America.
We will be sure to fill up on insulin in France before leaving Europe next summer
