About this experience

Pharmacies in Perhentian Besar is the island's primary source for over-the-counter medicines, first-aid supplies, and basic health products, located in the main village area near the jetty. The pharmacy operates with limited stock and hours, serving both tourists and local residents. It is the only dedicated pharmacy on the island, with the nearest full-service hospital on the mainland in Kuala Besut.

What to expect

  • Stock includes paracetamol, antihistamines, oral rehydration salts, antiseptic creams, and bandages, but not prescription medications
  • Opening hours are typically 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, with closures during lunch and on Fridays for prayer
  • Cash-only transactions are standard, with no card payment facilities available
  • The pharmacist can provide basic advice for minor ailments such as jellyfish stings, sunburn, and traveller's diarrhoea
  • Supplies are replenished by boat from the mainland approximately twice per week, so stock levels vary
  • Suitable for visitors needing immediate relief for common travel ailments, but not for chronic conditions or serious emergencies
