Farmacia San Roque

Gate-side meds and toiletries in T1, open 24/7

Farmacia San Roque sits airside in Terminal T1 and never closes, so it’s the place to fix last-minute health or hygiene issues at any hour. If your flight out of Montevideo is at 02:30 or you land at 05:45, you still get access to basic meds, toiletries, and travel-sized items without leaving the secure area.

This is a standard pharmacy-style travel essentials shop, not a souvenir stop, and the 24/7 schedule means crew and late-night arrivals rely on it for painkillers, stomach meds, bandages, and cold remedies. Prices run higher than downtown Montevideo, but still reasonable for an airport, especially for over-the-counter basics you forgot to pack.

You’ll also find practical items for the trip: toothpaste and brushes in single-use packs, small bottles of shampoo and shower gel, contact lens solution under 100 ml, and basic baby supplies like wipes and diapers. If you’re connecting onward with stricter liquid rules, the small-format packaging here keeps you under security limits without repacking your bag.

Stock can shift, so don’t count on specific brands, but standard generics for headache, allergies, and motion sickness usually sit behind the counter. Ask staff directly for anything stronger or for items like thermometers; in T1 they often keep these out of open reach. Most staff handle basic English, but having the product name written in Spanish speeds things up.

Tip: if you’re tight on time before boarding, stop here before you head to the far B gates in T1; looping back can add 10–15 minutes to your walk.
