Tirana Health
Pharmacies in Tirana
Pharmacies across the centre and the residential districts, several of them open around the clock.
Pharmacies are the one health category a visitor directory needs, and Tirana has them in quantity. They are marked by a green cross and sit on most main streets, with a heavy concentration around Skanderbeg Square, the boulevard and Blloku.
Albanian pharmacies dispense a wide range over the counter that would need a prescription elsewhere, and staff in the central branches usually have some English or Italian. A number stay open twenty-four hours, and the rota for overnight cover is posted in pharmacy windows. Bring anything you take regularly rather than assuming an exact brand match will be stocked.
