The Norwegian Apothecary Society established Ditt Apotek in 2001 as a response to the deregulation of the pharmacy market in Norway. The aim was to provide a competitive alternative to the existing pharmacy chains. The first outlet was opened in Oslo, the capital of Norway.

Ditt Apotek is owned by the Norwegian Apothecary Society, a professional organization for pharmacists in Norway. The society operates the chain as a franchise, with individual pharmacists owning and operating their own outlets. This model allows for a high degree of professional autonomy and ensures that the pharmacists are directly involved in the operation of their pharmacies.

As a pharmacy chain, Ditt Apotek is subject to regulation by the Norwegian Medicines Agency. This includes regulations regarding the sale of prescription and over-the-counter medication, as well as regulations regarding the operation of pharmacies in general.
