Forgot meds or shampoo at Aeroparque? Farmacity covers you.
Farmacity at Aeroparque Jorge Newbery sits landside, before security, and works more like a normal Buenos Aires pharmacy than an airport snack stop. Prices line up with city branches according to locals, not the usual “airport markup” you’d expect. Rating hovers around 3 out of 5, reflecting utility more than atmosphere.
This is a farmacia, not a café. Expect shelves of OTC meds, toiletries, sunscreen and basics, plus a small rack of candy and bottled drinks next to the checkout in Google photos. If you’re thinking sandwiches or a quick meal, you’ll need one of the actual food outlets in the terminal instead, since the food offer here is basically impulse snacks.
Regulars use this spot as a last-chance stop for travel-size toiletries and over‑the‑counter meds on the way to regional flights from AEP. One reviewer mentions grabbing forgotten prescription meds here and paying about the same as in the city. Another calls it “good for sunscreen and painkillers before a flight,” which sums up the real value better than any ad copy.
Watch out for limited stock on specific prescription drugs; several reviews note it doesn’t carry the full range of a big downtown Farmacity branch. If you need something niche or a particular brand of chronic meds, buy it in town before heading to Aeroparque and treat this branch as backup only.
Tip: stop here landside as soon as you enter AEP, then head to security; once you’re in the secure area, options for sunscreen, painkillers and toiletries thin out fast compared with this Farmacity.
