The chain was established in 2001 after the deregulation of the pharmacy market in Norway. The sister company Ditt Apotek is a franchise chain for independent pharmacies. Until 2007 the chain was a separate company, but is now merged into the parent company along with the wholesaler NMD Grossisthandel. NMD is one of the largest suppliers of pharmaceuticals and health-related products via pharmacies. NMD currently has a distribution center in Oslo and a branch in Harstad.
