Laboratorio Genové®, S.A. began operating at the end of the 19th Century (1898) in the well-known pharmacy of Doctor Genové, located on the popular Rambla de las Flores avenue in Barcelona. For many years, the pharmacy offered pharmaceutical specialities that were made in-house, such as the famous phosphorated drops and the multi-use ferments. It was here that Genové made his first contacts with Spanish dermatologists.
