Farmácia Oriental de Lisboa

What Farmácia Oriental de Lisboa does

Farmácia Oriental de Lisboa is an independent retail pharmacy headquartered at Avenida Dom João II Lote 8-loja A/B, 1990-306 Lisboa, Portugal, in the Parque das Nações neighbourhood adjacent to Campus de Justiça. Originally a small family pharmacy in Arroios, the business relocated to a modern, spacious Parque das Nações premises and now operates with a multidisciplinary team of approximately six to seven people: a Technical Director (Marta Carmona), two pharmacists, a pharmacy technician, an assistant pharmacy technician, a dermocosmetic technician, and one additional team member. Its core product is medication dispensing at the counter, complemented by prescription and over-the-counter retail plus a curated dermocosmetics offering. The technical platform is a standard pharmacy operations stack with a basic website providing service descriptions, order/enquiry forms, and e-commerce-style Pick Up and Go ordering.

The revenue model combines a one-time unit-pricing pharmacy retail stream (prescriptions, OTC, dermocosmetics) with professional services revenue (nursing, nutrition via the EASY SLIM partnership, physiotherapy, podiatry, dermocosmetic consultations, and check-up diagnostics including cholesterol, glycaemia, blood pressure, BMI, body fat, and pregnancy testing). Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via counter service and Pick Up and Go delivery (free within Parque das Nações; €3.69 outside), with a secondary B2B motion through Corporate Business Partnership Protocols that grant partner-company employees exclusive benefits. A Client Card loyalty programme accumulates points on health purchases to drive repeat visits. Customer segments are split horizontally between individual local residents and SMB/corporate partners; no logos are disclosed.

The business operates a single physical site serving the Lisbon metropolitan area, open every day of the year including public holidays. Pricing is pay-as-you-go at unit level and is not publicly listed; selected promotional pricing (20% off during weekly Dermo Cosmetic Open Day) and tiered delivery fees are the only disclosed price variations. No external funding, parent company, or M&A activity has been disclosed; the entity is privately held.
