If you need urgent medical care you should go to the nearest hospital emergency room (airports and many train stations also have medical teams and first aid facilities). If you suffer from serious illnesses or allergies you should always carry a special note from your physician certifying in detail the treatments in progress or that may be necessary.
Pharmacies (Farmacia) generally follow shops' times (approx. from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and from 3:00 to 7:30 p.m., Monday to Saturday, but in larger cities many are open non-stop. Night-time and Sunday service is provided on a shift basis. Business hours and all-night pharmacies nearby are usually displayed outside of each pharmacy and are also published in local papers). If you reside in a EU country, make sure that you bring over your European Health Insurance Card (which replaced the old E-111 form),  certifiying coverage by your National Health Service. Italy has no public medical program covering U.S. and Canadian citizens. Therefore, visitors are best advised to take out an adequate insurance policy before traveling.
