About this experience

Pharmacies in Dong Island is a medical retail service located on Dong Island, the smallest of the three isles in Lý Sơn district, Quảng Ngãi province. It supplies prescription medicines, over-the-counter drugs, and basic first-aid supplies to residents and the limited number of tourists who stay overnight on the island. The pharmacy operates within a small village cluster near the island's main pier, serving as the primary healthcare access point for this remote volcanic outpost.

What to expect

Stock includes common antibiotics, pain relievers, anti-diarrheal tablets, and motion-sickness pills, sourced from mainland Quảng Ngãi via the daily ferry.
Consultations are provided by a local pharmacist who speaks Vietnamese only; no English signage or translation services are available.
Opening hours are typically 7:00 AM to 11:30 AM and 1:30 PM to 5:00 PM, but the shop may close without notice during rough sea days when supply boats cannot dock.
Visitors with chronic conditions (e.g., hypertension, diabetes) must bring their own medication, as the pharmacy carries no specialised or refrigerated drugs.
The pharmacy also sells basic wound dressings, antiseptic solutions, and oral rehydration salts, suitable for minor cuts or dehydration from hiking the island's rocky trails.
This service suits self-sufficient travellers who need emergency basics, not those requiring complex care; the nearest hospital is on Lý Sơn's main island, a 20-minute boat ride away.
