My husband got an ugly case of sand flea or sand fly bites on his leg. The pharmacist recommended a cream a couple of days ago that provides some relief, but I really think he could use an oral antihistamine. Is this something we can obtain at the French side pharmacy by Super U, and is there a particular product name we should be looking for? Thanks!
Just about any pharmacy on either side should be able to help with an oral antihistamine. Benadryl or the generic equivalent would be a suggestion, although it and most antihistamines may cause drowsiness. Claritin, Zyrtec and Allegra are also ones to consider. 18 years as a pharmacy tech in another life. I have found most of the Dutch side pharmacies to be very helpful and I would expect the same on the French side. Good luck.
The pharmacy in Hope Estate next to Super U are very helpful and speak English. We have also got Tiger Balm from the Star bodega next to Good Morning gives temporary relief
Thanks all for the help. We started with Zyrtec and have Benadryl if needed tonight. We’ll be home tomorrow night so hopefully this will provide some relief in the meantime.
Thanks Linda. 8 days for us which is average but I have slacked on posting. I intend to rectify with the last few days of meals and trips while our journey home.
