Find a pharmacy in Treviso
Treviso's pharmacy network serves a compact provincial capital of roughly 85,000 residents and a wider catchment of about 410,000 across the surrounding comuni, with 14 verified pharmacies in PillsCard's directory covering the historic centre inside the Venetian walls and the ring of frazioni beyond. The mix reflects Treviso's role as a Veneto regional hub: daily commuters from Mogliano and Conegliano, Benetton and Luxottica office staff, university students at Ca' Foscari's Treviso campus, and a steady trickle of Austrian and Slovenian visitors travelling the A27 corridor. Concentration is densest around Piazza dei Signori, Borgo Cavour and the Stazione FS, with neighbourhood farmacie scattered through Santa Bona, Sant'Antonino, San Giuseppe and Fiera to serve the residential outskirts. Sunday and night rotas are coordinated by Federfarma Treviso across the whole provincia.
The market is fragmented rather than chain-dominated, mixing long-established family farmacie with municipal comunali operated by Farmacie Comunali Trevigiane. Santa Maria Maggiore SAS anchors the centro storico near the Duomo, while Farmacia San Giuseppe and Farmacia Santa Bona serve their namesake residential quarters with extended weekday hours. The municipal arm runs Farmacia Comunale N.8 and Comunale N.5 Sant'Antonino, both stocking generics at SSN reference prices and handling Veneto regional e-prescriptions. Farmacia alla Fiera sits near the trade-fair grounds and caters to event visitors, Farmacia Sant'Angelo and Farmacia Trevigiana handle the southern approaches, and parapharmacy operators such as Fanoli and Medi Market complement the prescription network with cosmetics, devices and over-the-counter ranges at competitive shelf prices.
Pricing & coverage
Prescription medicines dispensed under SSN carry a regional ticket (compartecipazione) capped in Veneto at €4 per package for most fascia A drugs, with exemptions by income or pathology code. A standard blood-pressure check runs €0–€5, INR finger-prick testing €8–€12, and a flu jab administered in-pharmacy €15–€20 outside the publicly funded campaigns for over-60s. Branded fascia C medicines (not reimbursed) are sold at the manufacturer's list price — typically €8–€35 per pack — under prices monitored by AIFA. Parapharmacies cannot dispense prescription-only items but often undercut farmacie on cosmetics and supplements by 10–20 per cent.
Emergencies & out-of-hours care
Treviso operates a guardia farmaceutica rota: one pharmacy per district stays open overnight and on Sundays, with the current turn posted on every farmacia door and on the Federfarma Treviso website. For acute medical emergencies dial 118 (or the unified 112), which dispatches to Ca' Foscari hospital's Pronto Soccorso at Ospedale Ca' Foscari di Treviso on Piazzale Ospedale. For non-urgent overnight medical advice the regional Guardia Medica (continuità assistenziale) is reachable on 0422 323555 between 20:00 and 08:00 and at weekends.
Frequently asked questions
Can I get a prescription filled in Treviso with a foreign EU prescription?
Yes. A cross-border prescription issued in any EU/EEA country in the standardised format is accepted at any Treviso farmacia, provided the medicine is authorised in Italy. You will pay the full retail price rather than the SSN ticket, since reimbursement applies only to residents enrolled with an Italian ASL. Bring photo ID and the original paper prescription — Italian pharmacists cannot dispense against an emailed scan. The Tessera Europea di Assicurazione Malattia (EHIC/TEAM) does not cover prescription costs but does cover the consultation that issued it.
Do Treviso pharmacies stock English-language patient information?
Some do, especially those near the Stazione and in the centro storico that see regular tourist footfall, but it is not standard. Patient leaflets (foglietto illustrativo) inside Italian packs are in Italian only. Pharmacists in central Treviso generally have working English; outlying frazioni vary. AIFA publishes English summaries of product characteristics for many medicines online, and staff can usually pull these up on request.
Are CBD or cannabis-based products available?
Cannabis terapeutica is dispensed only against a specialist prescription at designated farmacie, with the active substance prepared as a galenico magistrale. Over-the-counter CBD oil below 0.5% THC is sold at parapharmacies and some farmacie, but AIFA's stance has shifted repeatedly — check current status before travelling. Recreational cannabis remains illegal.
How are veterinary medicines handled?
Italian farmacie dispense veterinary prescriptions written by a registered veterinario on the dematerialised ricetta veterinaria. Several Treviso pharmacies, including some comunali, keep a stock of common companion-animal antibiotics and antiparasitics. Prices are unregulated and typically higher than human equivalents.
