About this experience

Pharmacies in Pantaleria are the island's licensed dispensaries for prescription medicines and over-the-counter remedies, located in the main towns of Pantelleria and Scauri. Each pharmacy stocks Sicilian-made pharmaceuticals, first-aid supplies, and sun-care products suited to the Mediterranean climate. Pharmacists provide advice in Italian, with limited English spoken at the larger branches.

What to expect

Two main pharmacies operate on the island: one in the capital Pantelleria town near the port, and one in Scauri village, both open Monday to Saturday from 8:30 to 13:00 and 16:00 to 20:00.
Prescription fulfilment for Italian and EU prescriptions is standard, with non-EU visitors needing a translated prescription for controlled medications.
Counter sales include antihistamines, digestive aids, and motion-sickness tablets, plus high-factor sunscreens and after-sun lotions from Italian brands like Bionike and Isdin.
Emergency out-of-hours service rotates weekly between the two pharmacies, with the on-call schedule posted on each door and at the local health centre (guardia medica).
The pharmacies stock basic first-aid kits, bandages, and antiseptics, suitable for hikers on the island's volcanic trails and divers at the harbour.
Each pharmacy has a small consultation area for blood-pressure checks and medication reviews, offered free of charge during opening hours.
