French pharmacy
Dr. Arnaud Comaills, originally from Perpignan, completed his higher education in Montpellier. After passing his scientific baccalaureate with honors, he studied for 6 years at the UFR des Sciences Pharmaceutiques et Biologiques of the Université Montpellier 1, one of the oldest schools for training pharmacists (apothecaries in the Middle Ages). During his studies at the Faculty of Pharmacy, he took part in the Artefac cultural association (theater, photo workshop, discussion group, etc.).
During his studies, he also discovered the professional practice of pharmacists at the Centre Hospito-universitaire de Montpellier (Service d'Hépato-gastro-entérologie) and the UDTT (Unité de Traitement des Toxicodépendances). After completing his studies at the Faculty of Pharmacy in Montpellier, he worked for several years for a temporary employment agency specializing in medical professions. In 2004, while working part-time as an assistant pharmacist in a dispensing pharmacy, he completed a Master's degree in Business Administration at the IAE in Montpellier. His end-of-year project was to set up a virtual parapharmacy on the Internet.
To complete his initial training, he continues to carry out several work contracts in France, particularly on Reunion Island.
In 2008, Dr Arnaud Comaills decided to take over the Mailloles pharmacy on avenue Victor Dalbiez in Perpignan, in partnership with his sister Delphine, also a Doctor of Pharmacy.
He soon decided to specialize his pharmacy in natural alternative therapies, stocking numerous French brands of phytotherapy, homeopathy and aromatherapy, a guarantee of quality and naturalness.
In 2010, in collaboration with the IT development agency Mandinga (later to become the Emagma agency), he initially created the information website for the pharmacy (www.pharmaciedemailloles.com), which is renowned in the Perpignan region for its night-time on-call service and its compounding laboratory.
After bringing the pharmacy's compounding laboratory up to standard, Arnaud and his partner obtained approval for the subcontracted manufacture of magistral preparations. The laboratory and pharmacy validate their ISO 9001 quality certification with Bureau Véritas.
In parallel with his activities as company director and pharmacist, he set about founding an online parapharmacy sales website, in collaboration with the Emagma web agency. After several months of research and personal training, this project was launched at the end of 2012, and soin-et-nature.com and its blog saw the light of day. Its aim is to offer a wide selection of dietary supplements, medical devices and organic cosmetics for sale online, in order to meet the growing demand for natural care (taking charge of health naturally).
However, in 2013, the French government authorized the online sale of medicines without a prescription. Arnaud Comaills applied for approval for this activity, which was granted in 2014. This authorization enables him to sell online mainly phytotherapy, oligotherapy and homeopathic medicines, which until then had only been available over the counter in physical pharmacies.
E-commerce continues to play an ever-increasing role in the life of the company. In 2015, the managers of the Mailloles pharmacy moved to much larger premises on the same avenue Victor Dalbiez, in Perpignan.
Since the expansion of the sales and storage area, the pharmacy team has been strengthened to keep pace with the constant increase in online orders from our customers.
Arnaud Comaills plans to develop telemedicine and online pharmaceutical advice using innovative IT solutions. He continues to list new ranges of natural French products to help his customers care for their health on a daily basis.
In 2020, he decided to take over sole management of the company, in order to pursue its local, national and international development.
