About

Among Sri Lanka's pharmacies, Pethara Pharmacy dispenses medicines and health supplies to visitors and residents. The address at 122/1 W.A. Silva Mawatha, Colombo 00600, Sri Lanka places the venue in Colombo. Travellers staying in the capital can reach the pharmacy without leaving the city.

Colombo's street grid makes the venue easy to find for tourists needing medicine, and the nearby places list includes Colombo, Galle, Kandy, Negombo, Bentota, Mirissa, Unawatuna and Arugam Bay. Visitors should carry a prescription or a clear description of the medicine they need, since brand names differ between countries. The pharmacy keeps a Facebook page at facebook.com/newpettahpharmacy for updates.

Five photos show the premises for anyone wanting a look before setting out. The Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/newpettahpharmacy is the pharmacy's online presence.

With 56 reviews averaging 4.4 out of 5, Pethara Pharmacy earns solid marks from the people who use it. Sri Lanka has a tropical climate, with two monsoon systems bringing rain to different coasts at different times, so travellers should pack for wet weather on either side of the island. Asian elephants, sloth bears and leopards live in Sri Lanka's national parks, including Yala and Wilpattu. The island is a major producer of tea and cinnamon, and Jaffna cooking uses its own blend of spices. Sri Lanka was known as Ceylon until 1972, gained independence in 1948, and has ancient cities at Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa.
