lesmisloonyThe first time I bought birth control in France I just brought in a package of the stuff that was prescribed to me in the US, and they read the dosage and found a French equivalent. I paid around €12 for one month's supply. They asked for my name and address.
I went to the same pharmacie a month later, and this time they gave me THREE months for the same price, €12. I thought there may have been a mistake, but I didn't complain.
This morning I went back to get more, and this time? I got three months for €5.50.
THREE MONTHS OF BIRTH CONTROL FOR FIVE EUROS AND FIFTY CENTIMES
I have no idea what the hell is going on here, but it's amazing. And this is WITHOUT HEALTH INSURANCE INVOLVEMENT.
