About this experience

Pharmacies in Mantigue Island are the sole providers of prescription medicines and first-aid supplies on the island, located within the barangay proper near the port. These small outlets stock basic antibiotics, analgesics, and anti-malarial tablets, serving both residents and tourists with acute needs. A licensed pharmacist is present during daylight hours, but the range of goods is limited to essential items due to the island's remote supply chain.

What to expect

Opening hours are typically 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily, with no overnight or emergency service available.
Each pharmacy carries a fixed stock of 30 to 50 common medications, including paracetamol, ibuprofen, and oral rehydration salts.
Visitors can purchase over-the-counter items like bandages, antiseptic wipes, and sunscreen, but must present a valid prescription for antibiotics or controlled drugs.
The two pharmacies on the island are within a 5-minute walk from the main beach, and both accept cash only in Philippine pesos.
For chronic conditions, tourists should bring their own medication supply, as insulin, inhalers, and cardiac drugs are not stocked.
The service suits day-trippers needing minor ailment relief, but anyone with a serious injury or allergic reaction must take a boat to Mambajao's district hospital.
