Our content deals with Brazilian collective bargaining agreements and health-surveillance regulations, so it is kept in the original language. This page summarises who we are and how to reach us. For anything else, write to us in English — we answer.
An employers' union, not a pharmacy
We represent the businesses — pharmacies, drugstores and compounding pharmacies — before labour unions, health authorities and government bodies.
-
01
Collective bargaining
We negotiate the collective labour agreements that set wages, working hours and benefits for pharmacy employees across 253 municipalities in the State of São Paulo.

Regulatory and legal support
Licensing before the health surveillance authority, Federal and Civil Police permits, controlled-substance reporting and legal counsel specialised in the pharmaceutical retail sector.

Hands-on courses held in our own facilities: a fully equipped compounding teaching laboratory — the first inside a trade union in Brazil — and a complete teaching drugstore.
