Gate-side meds in Terminal 1
Right in Terminal 1, Apotheke Pharmacy covers last‑minute health needs before you board. It sits in the main terminal area, so you can sort prescriptions or pick up basics without leaving the check‑in and security zone of CGN’s older terminal. Expect standard German high‑street pharmacy pricing rather than airport markups, especially on over‑the‑counter meds.
This is a full pharmacy, not just a cosmetics stand, so you’ll see proper medicines behind the counter alongside travel staples like painkillers, antihistamines and cold remedies. Because it’s in Terminal 1, it’s handy if you’re flying Eurowings, Lufthansa or other carriers using this side of the airport. Staff generally speak German and at least some English, which helps if you need to explain symptoms or dosage questions quickly.
Hours track typical daytime flight banks in Terminal 1, usually opening in the morning and closing in the early evening, so don’t count on late‑night service after the last departures around 22:00. You can also grab simple extras here—think bandages, disinfectant, lip balm and basic skincare—so it doubles as a top‑up stop if you forgot something at home.
One tip: swing by Apotheke Pharmacy before you pass fully into your gate area, as stock and staff help here are more predictable than the limited kiosks closer to boarding. Build five or ten minutes into your pre‑security routine in Terminal 1 if you know you’ll need prescriptions checked or advice on medication.
