Gate-side meds run starts here in T1
This Pharmacy sits airside in Terminal T1, so you clear security first and then find it on the main departures level before most gates. It’s a standard Italian airport farmacia: over-the-counter medicines, basic first aid, and a wall of travel-sized toiletries. Expect airport pricing, not city pricing, but still under €10 for most common painkillers and cold remedies.
Opening hours generally track daytime flight banks, roughly early morning to late evening, aligning with the first and last departures in T1. Shelves carry Italian brands (think Tachipirina, Moment, Enterogermina) plus a smaller section of international labels. You can usually grab band‑aids, saline, eye drops, and hand sanitizer in under five minutes, even when nearby cafés have lines to the door.
Staff typically speak at least some English and can help translate Italian drug names into what you use at home; keep the generic term (like ibuprofen or paracetamol) on your phone if you’re unsure. There’s also a basic personal-care section with toothbrushes, toothpaste, travel deodorant, and small bottles of shampoo that meet the 100 ml liquids rule for hand luggage.
If you need prescription help, bring your paper script or a clear photo with dosage in mg; Italian rules can be strict, and substitutions aren’t always possible on the spot. Quick tip: shop here before you sit down at your gate, so you’re not racing back up the concourse when boarding for your BGY flight starts.
