T2’s Apollo Pharmacy keeps late flights covered
Just past security in Terminal T2, Apollo Pharmacy is the spot for last-minute medicines and basics before your CCU departure. This is a standard Indian high-street chain outlet brought airside, so you’ll see familiar brands of OTC painkillers, cold tablets, oral rehydration salts, and basic first-aid items on the shelves. Expect regular city pricing with the usual MRP labels, not inflated “airport special” tags.
The shop sits on the departures level of T2, a short walk from most domestic gates, and usually opens from early morning into late evening to match peak flight banks. Stock typically includes travel-sized toiletries, bandages, antiseptic creams, and a few baby-care items, which can save a run back landside if you forgot something essential. Payment is via standard Indian methods: UPI, cards, and cash are generally accepted at the counter.
Don’t expect a full supermarket here; this is a compact pharmacy focused on medicines and health basics rather than snacks. Prescription fulfillment may be limited if you carry a very specific brand, so bring critical meds in your hand luggage instead of relying on an on-the-spot replacement. The best move: snap a quick photo of your regular medicines and doses before leaving home, then use Apollo in T2 only for simple fixes like paracetamol or ORS packets if the flight day goes sideways.
