Websites for pharmacies and parapharmacies
Websites and e-commerce for pharmacies and parapharmacies.
The Italian pharmacy is one of the most regulated sectors in Europe: the online sale of OTC medicines requires authorisation from the Ministry of Health, with the mandatory EU identification logo (Legislative Decree 17/2014), advertising is strictly governed by AIFA, and FOFI (the Federation of Pharmacist Orders) sets the code of conduct. A pharmacy e-commerce isn't a generic WooCommerce: it requires product pages that make no therapeutic claims, integration with sector management software, a clickable ministry logo, and order traceability.
