Pharmacy opening hours in Cyprus

Most pharmacies in Cyprus are open Monday through Friday, mornings and afternoons. Many pharmacies have shorter opening hours on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and on Sundays and public holidays, only pharmacies on duty are open.

Opening hours may vary depending on the region and season, so please check the latest information before visiting.

On-duty pharmacies

Every day in Cyprus, pharmacies are designated to operate outside standard opening hours. This ensures that residents and tourists alike have access to medications in the evenings, at night, on Sundays, and on public holidays.

What medications can be purchased without a prescription?

Cypriot pharmacies offer a wide selection of over-the-counter medications. Painkillers, fever reducers, cold medications, allergy medications, stomach medications, wound dressings, UV creams, vitamins, and dietary supplements are readily available.

In most pharmacies, you can easily communicate in English, and pharmacists are happy to help you choose the right preparation or its equivalent.

Recipes from Poland in Cyprus

Cyprus is a member of the European Union, so in many cases it is possible to have a prescription issued by a doctor in Poland or another Member State filled.

The prescription must meet the requirements for cross-border prescriptions and include all information necessary for verification by a pharmacist. If a given medication is not available under the same brand name as in Poland, the pharmacist may suggest an equivalent containing the same active ingredient.

It is worth remembering that some medicines containing narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances are subject to separate regulations and prescriptions issued abroad cannot always be filled.

Emergency assistance

If you need medication outside of standard opening hours, please use the list of on-duty pharmacies available on this website.

In case of a threat to life or health, call the emergency number 112.
