Nicotine Replacement Therapy

in Madagascar

In Madagascar, Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is allowed, and it is legal to use, sell, and purchase NRT products without a prescription. Although these products are not regulated as medicinal products, they are available in pharmacies. They are not, however, included on the country's essential drugs list. Therefore, the government does not provide financial support to cover the cost of NRT. NRT is legal to market.
