By gate-side in Terminal 2, Farmais fills the “I forgot it” gap fast.
Farmais sits in Terminal 2 at GRU and runs daily from 06:00 to 23:00, so it catches both early departures and late returns. It’s a straightforward Brazilian-style drugstore: basic medicines behind the counter, travel-sized toiletries up front, and a wall of last-minute add-ons.
This is the place in Terminal 2 for painkillers, cold tablets, bandages, contact lens solution, lip balm, and basic skincare. Over-the-counter meds usually price a bit above city pharmacies, but still far less than airport duty free. Expect standard Brazilian brands rather than US or European labels, so check the active ingredient on the box if you’re picky.
The store also stocks practical extras: cheap phone chargers and cables, toothbrush-and-paste kits, pocket packs of tissues, and a few snacks and bottled drinks in single units. Packaging is mostly in Portuguese, but staff in Terminal 2 typically handle simple English or Spanish requests like “ibuprofeno” or “dor de cabeça.” Bring a card; smaller airport drugstores in Brazil, including this one, frequently run purchases via chip-and-PIN only.
One quirk with GRU: product displays shift often, and Farmais is no exception, so that sunscreen you saw near the door at 10:00 might move to another shelf by 18:00. If you land in Terminal 2 and feel a headache coming, walk past the main food outlets toward the central retail cluster and hit Farmais before you sit down at the gate.
