Forgot paracetamol at home? Apollo Pharmacy in T1 has you.
Apollo Pharmacy sits airside in Terminal T1 between Gates 16 and 17, open 24x7 for last‑minute meds and basic health stuff before you board. It’s a standard unit from the big Apollo chain, but the stock here skews travel-focused: think paracetamol, cold and flu tablets, bandages, ORS sachets, masks and hand sanitizer instead of long prescription queues.
Prices run a bit higher than city branches, which lines up with typical airport markups across HYD, so don’t come here for a monthly refill. A strip of common painkillers or a small sanitizer bottle won’t break the trip budget, but larger packs and branded supplements add up fast compared with a neighborhood Apollo in Hyderabad.
Regulars say they carry prescription meds from home and only use this T1 branch for OTC emergencies: headache before a 02:00 departure, upset stomach after spicy biryani in the food court, or a last‑second need for masks before an international connection. Staff reviews are solid; multiple Google comments call out quick help finding “basic medicines and hand sanitizers” without wasting time before boarding.
Watch out for the location: it’s closer to Gates 16 and 17 than the earlier teens, so if you’re at Gate 1 or 2 in T1, you’re looking at a decent walk of 5–10 minutes each way. Practical tip: snap a photo of your regular meds at home and show it here; staff usually match the salt or nearest equivalent fast, which matters when you’re boarding in under 30 minutes.
