Allow commercial establishments equipped with a pharmacist to sell drugs currently classified in range C, to increase the points of sale of these drugs? The proposal put forward by Federdistribuzione and re-emerged in yesterday's Il Sole 24 Ore is not shared by Federfarma except in a note that states that «there would be no advantage, as the only result would be a vertical drop in the efficiency and capillarity of the pharmaceutical service .
