Our services
Care at every step, in plain English.
From dispensing prescriptions to personalised advice, our team supports you day to day — and helps visitors find their way around the French healthcare system.
Everyday care
Medadom teleconsultation
No doctor in Annecy? A medical teleconsultation booth inside the pharmacy lets you see a French doctor within minutes, with a prescription issued straight away if needed.
Advice in English
Our pharmacists speak English and will take the time to answer your health questions, suggest an over-the-counter remedy or tell you when you really need to see a doctor.
Veterinary pharmacy
Medicines and care products for your pets: flea and tick treatments, wormers, grooming and hygiene — on a vet's prescription or as over-the-counter advice.

A rapid throat swab tells us in a few minutes whether your sore throat is viral or bacterial. If it is bacterial, the pharmacist can prescribe the antibiotic on the spot.
