Farmavia aims to become “a Buscapé for pharmacies” in the future

Have you ever thought you could open an app on your iPhone to choose the pharmacy closest to you that has a certain drug at a good price?

Because it already exists, and it's called Farmavia.


Sorry, app not found.

Farmavia is a tool to locate the pharmacies near you and compare the price of the products sold by them. Just inform the product you are looking for and Farmavia will show you the pharmacies near your location and the price of the medicine or product in each one.

Through the app you can also search for diapers, shampoos, supplements, chocolate, vitamins and any other products sold in pharmacies and drugstores all over Brazil, ordering your searches for less price or distance. It also informs the opening hours and services offered by the establishment, such as available ATMs, payment methods, delivery, parking, parking for the disabled, drive Thru, etc.

The sensational proposal and the app was very well developed, but Farmavia is still in its infancy. Despite already "being present" in several Brazilian states, its database today covers only 200 pharmacies within a universe of more than 100 thousand in our country. This means that his current reach is only 0.2%. When it reaches 10%, at least, it will be very interesting.

Tiago Aleluia, Farmavia's developer, explained to us that the owners of pharmacies can already create a simple XML to facilitate the update of their prices in the system but that he also plans to create an API for the pharmaceutical software manufacturers (in front of store) can integrate their systems.

Farmavia for now is only available for iOS, but will also be released for Android and Windows Phone. The thing promises!
