Opposite T1 check-in at Da Nang, Pharmacy covers basics fast
This small Pharmacy in Terminal T1 sits landside near the main check-in counters, so you can grab meds before security rather than hunting in the gate areas. It mainly stocks over-the-counter painkillers, cold and flu tablets, digestive aids, bandages, and a few basic vitamins, all with Vietnamese labels and some imported brands on the shelf.
Hours usually track T1’s first and last departures, roughly 06:00 to late evening, but closing can slide earlier on slow days, especially after the last domestic flights. Prices sit higher than a city chemist by about 20–40%, with things like paracetamol and motion-sickness pills still under 100,000 VND for a small box. Expect limited English on packaging, so check active ingredients and dosage rather than relying on brand names.
Stock skews toward everyday items: mosquito repellent spray, sunscreen around SPF 30–50, basic skincare, masks, alcohol wipes, and a modest rack of travel-size toiletries under 150,000 VND. Prescription drugs are hit-or-miss; most short-stay travelers end up buying symptom relief only, not full replacements for long-term medication. Payment typically works with both cash in VND and major cards, though smaller transactions under 50,000–100,000 VND sometimes get a side-eye on cards.
Use your phone to translate Vietnamese packaging at the counter and snap a photo of the box before tossing it, so you remember what you took and the dosage once you’re at the gate or on the plane.
