Gate-side meds and toiletries in T1
The Pharmacy in Terminal T1 sits landside near the main departures hall, handy if you realize at VRN that you forgot prescription meds or basics. It’s a standard Italian airport pharmacy, not a full supermarket, so think painkillers, bandages, cold medicine, and travel-sized toiletries rather than snacks. Expect typical Italian high-street pricing, not duty-free deals.
Hours usually track T1’s first and last departures, roughly early morning through early evening, but smaller airports like Verona sometimes close earlier on quiet days, especially after the last non-Schengen flight. If you’re on a late FR or AZ departure, buy what you need before check-in closes.
Stock leans toward European brands: you’ll see names like Tachipirina for paracetamol and ibuprofen under brands you may not recognize. Ask the pharmacist directly for anything stronger than basic over-the-counter tablets; in Italy, even 600 mg ibuprofen often sits behind the counter. Bring your original prescription or a photo if you need to explain regular medication.
The Pharmacy also carries basic travel gear: small first‑aid kits, hand sanitizer bottles under 100 ml, SPF creams suited for Italian summer sun, and simple cosmetics. Pricing on sunscreen and skincare can run a few euros higher than a city pharmacy in Verona, but still manageable for last-minute buys.
Practical tip: if you have a tight departure window, stop at the Pharmacy before heading to security in T1 so you’re not racing back landside if you remember something important at the gate.
