How to find the duty pharmacy

Every year ATS Bergamo, the provincial health agency, approves the duty calendar for all pharmacies in the province: the current one runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2027, but it does not include changes notified during the year. The up-to-date calendar is on the Federfarma Bergamo website, on the duty page, by choosing the municipality and the month, or in the Farmacia Aperta app recommended by ATS.

Open pharmacies and those on duty keep their illuminated green cross switched on. Outside opening hours, and at night with the doors closed, the pharmacist on duty does not have to stay in the shop but must be available within twenty minutes of being called. From 20.00 to 8.00 an additional call-out fee is charged on medicines, 7.50 or 10 euros depending on the type of pharmacy according to Federfarma Bergamo; it is not charged on National Health Service prescriptions on which the doctor has marked the urgency.
