Quick Answer
Search the official Rome duty-pharmacy list for the correct date, choose a pharmacy near your actual location and call before travelling there. Availability changes by date, area and time.
How To Find An Open Pharmacy
1. Select the correct date. Sunday and holiday duty pharmacies rotate, so an old list may be useless.
2. Check the real distance. Rome is large. Choose from your actual position—not only by a familiar district name.
3. Call before leaving. Confirm the opening time and ask whether the medicine or service you need is available.

The Real Medication Mistake
Bring enough medication for your trip and possible delays. Keep it in its original packaging and carry the prescription or supporting medical documentation you may need.
Brand names, availability and prescription requirements can differ in Italy. Do not assume that an exact replacement will be immediately available.
RomaShield principle: find the pharmacy before the pharmacy becomes the problem.
