preço de venda ao público — retail price to the public

The official price of a pack of medicine at the pharmacy. For prescription medicines it is approved by INFARMED, and the pharmacy may not charge more; for over-the-counter medicines the price is unregulated and varies from pharmacy to pharmacy.

Where you come across it. Checking the price before going to the pharmacy.
In the INFARMED database, over-the-counter medicines show "N/A" in the price field. This is not an error: the price is simply unregulated.
