Medicines
Prescriptions & stock
Can I check if a medicine is in stock before coming?
Yes. Call +961 1 740 753 or WhatsApp +961 81 681 445 with the medicine name and we'll check immediately.
Do you accept insurance?
We handle prescriptions from all Lebanese doctors and hospitals. Coverage depends on your insurer and plan — bring your card and prescription and we'll walk you through it.
Can the pharmacist recommend a generic equivalent?
Yes, where a registered equivalent exists and suits your prescription. For certain medicines we'll advise confirming the switch with your doctor. More in our guide to how prescriptions work in Lebanon.
My medicine is unavailable in Lebanon — what now?
Bring us the prescription anyway. We'll check our supplier network and, where appropriate, identify registered alternatives your doctor can consider.
