Hello, I'm a Canadian who is now living in France and I'm looking for Erfa Thyroid for my hypothyroid. I have been taking this medication for over 5 years while living in Canada but I don't know where to find it in France.

There may be import restrictions in medication in France. This is a similar question. My personal view if it is an unlicenced med, they may not permit it:-

I think you are right shaws, that there are restrictions - and there is one specifically on desiccated thyroid.

So anyone sending desiccated thyroid to France might find the package not arriving. You'd possibly stand more chance with a privately mailed small package sent from within the EU. For example, if it was brought into Europe by someone in the UK, who then posts it on. However there are risks that doing that could be seen as "supplying" and hence illegal on both sides of the Channel.

I have now found the post I was struggling to remember:
