Gate-side meds and basics in Terminal 1
Just past security in Terminal 1, Pharmacy Point covers last-minute health needs before boarding. It sits airside, so you can walk over from most gates in under 5 minutes in this compact terminal. Think of it as your backup if you forgot daily pills at home or need something quick for a headache before a LOT or Ryanair flight out of Poznań.
Expect standard Polish high-street pharmacy pricing, not duty-free deals, with basic painkillers and cold remedies usually just a few złoty more than in town. Shelves typically carry OTC staples like ibuprofen, paracetamol, anti-allergy tablets, throat lozenges, and basic first-aid items. If you’re connecting through POZ and short on time, it’s still realistic to pop in and pay within 10–15 minutes thanks to the small size of Terminal 1.
Staff can usually help in Polish and basic English, which matters if you need to explain symptoms or check interactions with prescription meds you already take. You won’t find an endless cosmetics wall, but there are a few hygiene essentials: travel-sized toothpaste, bandages, and disinfectant. For anything more specialized or prescription-only in Poland, plan ahead and bring it from home rather than relying on a quick stop here.
Practical tip: if you need medication before an early-morning departure, buy it landside in Poznań the day before; Pharmacy Point hours can track flight schedules and may not match a 24/7 city pharmacy.
