Boniscontro and Gazzone

Boniscontro & Gazzone was a prominent Italian pharmaceutical manufacturer founded in the early 20th century and based in Turin. The company earned a significant reputation for developing popular over-the-counter (OTC) medicines and galenical preparations, particularly in the respiratory and gastrointestinal categories. Its portfolio featured iconic Italian brands such as Sciroppo Boniscontro and early versions of the antacid Citrosodina. Following its acquisition by Laboratorio Farmaceutico SIT, the company's operations and brands were integrated into the parent organization's structure. Today, it is recognized as a foundational entity in the history of the Italian medicinal industry, with its legacy products still recognized in the Mediterranean market.
