MedMe Saúde

What MedMe Saúde does

MedMe Saúde, operating through the legal entity MedMe Convênios LTDA (CNPJ 49.554.562/0001-76), is a Brazil-based online pharmacy and corporate health benefits platform that functions as the B2B arm of Grupo Nissei, a major Brazilian pharmacy conglomerate with more than 480 physical stores. The company sells prescription medications, OTC products, personal care, beauty, dermocosmetics, baby care, and health supplements through its e-commerce site (medmefarmacias.com.br), native iOS and Android apps, and Nissei store redemptions, with select delivery coverage in Curitiba and metropolitan area. Core platform features include digital prescription submission and pharmacist review (Minhas Receitas), prescription scanning via mobile app, and integration with Cielo for payment processing and WhatsApp for customer service.

The MedMe Empresas corporate benefit program is the differentiated product layer: companies enroll at zero cost of adhesion, define employee credit limits, and access an HR dashboard (hub.medmesaude.com.br) for enrollment, configuration, and utilization reports. Employees can purchase products via payroll deduction (Desconto em Folha) and choose home or workplace delivery, redeemable across Nissei's 480+ store network. The platform is LGPD-compliant, with a designated Data Protection Officer, and all affiliated pharmacies are ANVISA-authorized. Add-on services include clinical laboratory partnerships in Curitiba, the Programa Visão Para Todos vision program, vaccination campaigns, and access to Nissei's manipulated (compounded) medications service.

The revenue model is a hybrid B2C product sales plus B2B managed services. Direct consumers pay unit prices for goods across the catalog; corporate clients access the platform and discounted product pricing, with the company acting as administrator of corporate pharmacy benefit programs. The firm reports approximately 30 employees and operates from a corporate headquarters in Barueri, an operational office in Campo Bom (Rio Grande do Sul), and a regional hub supporting Curitiba and surrounding area. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, no funding rounds have been announced, and the company is privately held as a subsidiary of Grupo Nissei with no external PE/VC backing identified.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Emerging players

• Memed: Brazilian digital prescription and physician platform that integrates with pharmacies for fulfillment — comparable to MedMe's prescription management (Minhas Receitas) and pharmacy fulfillment workflow, though MedMe is employer-led and Memed is physician-led.
• Consulta Remédios: Brazilian pharmacy price comparison and e-commerce platform routing consumers to nearby pharmacies — overlaps with MedMe's online pharmacy discovery, pricing, and delivery experience.

Others

• Grupo Nissei: MedMe's parent company and primary fulfillment partner operating 480+ physical pharmacies in Brazil — included as an ecosystem/adjustment reference rather than a competitor, since MedMe essentially operates the corporate benefits and digital front-end of Nissei.

Direct peers

• Drogaria Onofre: Brazilian pharmacy retailer with strong e-commerce focus and broad assortments of OTC, prescription, beauty, and personal care products — directly comparable consumer offering to MedMe's online pharmacy.
• Extrafarma: Brazilian pharmacy chain with national e-commerce, comparable product breadth across medications, beauty, and personal care, and overlapping customer segments with MedMe's direct-to-consumer platform.
• Pague Menos: Major Brazilian pharmacy chain with strong retail and e-commerce presence, competing for the same OTC, prescription, beauty, and personal care customers that MedMe targets through its online platform.
• Panvel Farmácias: Regional pharmacy chain in southern Brazil (where MedMe/Nissei also concentrates) with mature e-commerce, mobile app, and corporate client programs — highly comparable on assortment, digital UX, and corporate benefits.
• Drogaria São Paulo / DPSP: Large São Paulo-based pharmacy chain with national e-commerce presence and broad OTC/Rx assortment, competing for the same Brazilian pharmacy consumer that MedMe serves through its e-commerce channel.

Broad incumbents

• CVS Caremark (CVS Health): US-based pharmacy retailer and PBM with a corporate benefit administration model analogous to MedMe Empresas — useful international comparable for the pharmacy-led corporate benefits concept even though it operates in a different regulatory regime.
• RD Saúde (Drogasil / Pacheco / Raia): Largest pharmacy retailer in Brazil operating Drogasil, Pacheco, and Raia banners with national footprint, e-commerce, and increasingly B2B health benefit programs — directly comparable to MedMe's pharmacy retail + corporate benefits positioning.
