Go directly to the pharmacy, without going to the doctor, when you suffer from cystitis or bacterial tonsillitis. This will a priori be possible from tomorrow, Wednesday June 19.
A Application decreespotted by The Parisian, was in fact published this Tuesday in the Official Journal. It authorizes pharmacists to dispense antibiotics without a prescription. And which will of course be reimbursed.
This new competence for pharmacies only applies in cases of “group A streptococcal bacterial tonsillitis” or acute cystitis but without complications (such as high fever or pregnancy).
You need to do a test first
Furthermore, in both cases, the dispensing of medications must always be preceded in the pharmacy by positive tests, “oropharyngeal” for angina and urinary for cystitis. This provision, provided for by the 2024 Social Security Finance Law, is intended to relieve congestion in medical practices and, for patients, to obtain rapid care.
