Reference information:
Définition du paracommercialisme (par M. Lapierre « La paracommercialité ») :
La paracommercialité ce sont toutes les activités commerciales exercées par des particuliers ou des organismes qui n’ont pas le statut de commerçant ou qui n’en supportent pas les obligations et les charges.

I understand this to mean people who sell huge amounts of furniture on a certain website beginning with E or set up stalls on car boot sales every weekend - they are competition for furniture distributors but are not classed as professionals.

Actually, my furniture example was off the mark seeing as we're talking medication here. It still means ordinary people doing business and taking business away from businesses without actually setting up in business :-)
