Pharmacies

From Alhannah

Pharmacies are separate from the grocery stores. There are pharmacies in all the malls, and at many of the petrol stations. Two good ones are Tylos Pharmacy, opposite Mega Mart grocery store in Landmark Mall, and Goodlife Pharmacy, at City Center Mall next to the Q-Tel store. They sell everything from over-the-counter medications to prescriptions, and usually can fill an order in 5 minutes. Talk to the pharmacist; generic brands and equivalent medications are usually available, often without a prescription.

Some medications that are freely available here, and may be prescribed, may not meet FDA requirements or are now not seen as entirely safe. It is probably a good idea to look up information about a new medication before taking it.

In case of emergency there are several 24 hour pharmacies: The Federal Pharmacy at the petrol station as you approach Landmark Mall, Khaloods near Burger King at the roundabout of the same name, and in Souq Ali.
