Your Travel Health Lifeline

Nestled within the bustling terminals of Cape Town International Airport (CPT), the airport pharmacy is an indispensable resource for travelers. Strategically located both landside (before security) and airside (after security, in the domestic and international departures areas), it provides crucial peace of mind.

Open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, it caters to all flight schedules, ensuring you’re covered whether facing a late arrival, an early departure, or an unexpected delay. Its core function is dispensing prescription medications, vital for those who may have forgotten theirs or need an emergency refill while in transit (always carry your script or a copy).

Beyond prescriptions, it’s a well-stocked convenience point for travel health essentials. Find remedies for headaches, allergies, colds, motion sickness, and digestive upsets. Stock up on plasters, antiseptics, basic first-aid supplies, and hygiene products like toothpaste or hand sanitiser. Sunscreen and lip balm are also popular grabs for those heading into the Cape sun.

While prices may be slightly higher than city pharmacies, the unparalleled convenience and 24/7 accessibility make the Cape Town Airport Pharmacy a true travel essential. Knowing you can access vital medications and health supplies at any hour provides invaluable reassurance, letting you start or end your South African journey smoothly and healthily.
