The Problem
In Portugal, prescription drug prices are regulated by INFARMED — but OTC medications, supplements, cosmetics, and parafarmácia products have wildly different prices between pharmacies. A box of Brufen 400mg can cost €3.50 at one pharmacy and €5.90 at another 500 meters away. Sunscreen, baby products, vitamins — price differences of 30-60% are normal.
There is no GoodRx equivalent for Portugal or Southern Europe. Consumers have zero visibility into pharmacy pricing. They walk into the nearest pharmacy and pay whatever is charged. Online pharmacies (Wells, Farmácia Barata, Sweetcare) each have their own pricing, but nobody aggregates or compares them.
This affects everyone: young families buying baby products, elderly patients on chronic OTC regimens, health-conscious consumers buying supplements, and anyone who buys cosmetics at pharmacies (huge market in PT where pharmacies dominate beauty retail).
