Cold meds and nasal spray after security, not before
Pharmacy sits airside in T1, just past security in the main terminal, so you can fix a sore throat or clogged sinuses after your liquids have already been screened. It’s small but focused on basics: painkillers, cold and flu meds, nasal sprays for takeoff congestion, bandages, plus a few travel-size toiletries. Opening hours generally track the main flight bank in Tallinn, roughly early morning through late evening, though very late departures can find the shutters down.
Prices run higher than in city pharmacies like Benu or Apotheka, and one Google review calls that “expected for an airport.” You’re paying for location more than range. Expect standard over‑the‑counter brands, not deep specialist stock. If you need a specific prescription filled, sort that in town; this shop mainly covers minor issues that pop up on the way to the gate.
Regular Tallinn flyers on local forums say they usually buy painkillers, motion sickness pills, or kids’ meds in the city and treat the airport Pharmacy as a backup for forgotten items or surprise colds. A reviewer mentioned picking up cold medicine and nasal spray here “right before the flight,” which sums up its role: last‑minute fix, not primary supplier.
Watch your budget: assume at least a few extra euros per item versus downtown. One practical play if you’re prone to sinus issues on climb‑out is to hit Pharmacy for a small nasal spray, then repack it in an easy‑reach pocket before boarding.
