The law expressly requires physical <strong>space or functional segregation<\/strong> of the pharmacy area, prohibiting the sale of medicines in open areas or in spaces that are connected to other areas of the supermarket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The drugstore or pharmacy may be <strong>owned by the supermarket itself<\/strong> or may be an <strong>independent third party<\/strong>, duly licensed, operating within the supermarket under a contractual arrangement. In both cases, all operational requirements applicable to pharmacies must be met, pursuant to Law No. 13,021\/2014, which governs the pharmaceutical activities. Accordingly, a pharmacist must be present throughout the pharmacy\u2019s entire operating hours, as provided in Article 6 of Law No. 13,021\/2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Likewise, the law further provides that <strong>controlled medicines<\/strong> (those requiring notification or retention of a prescription) may only be dispensed after payment, or alternatively, that such medicines be transported from the pharmacy service counter to the payment area in sealed, tamper-proof, and clearly identifiable packaging (paragraph four of the new Article 6 of Law No. 5,991\/1973).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, the new law authorizes pharmacies to <strong>hire digital channels or e-commerce platforms<\/strong> for logistics and transportation purposes related to the delivery of medicines sold to patients, as established by the applicable regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We remain at disposal to those interested in providing further details on the requirements of the new legislation governing the sale of medicines in supermarkets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On March 20, 2026, Law No. 15,357 was published, amending Law No. 5,991\/1973 and regulating the sale of medicines in pharmacies or drugstores installed within supermarkets.
