Bangalore's Pharmacies: 24x7

Picture this: it’s the middle of the night and you are jolted out of sleep by the piercing sound of a phone-call, informing you that a family member has met with an accident. You reach the hospital in time, finish all the paperwork and just when you are about to sink into a chair, you are handed a prescription and asked to get the medicines ASAP. Though most shops would be closed at this ungodly hour, yet you need to get hold of that life-saving drug. Fret not, look to the 24/7 pharmacies, dotted all across the city for that timely help.

Apollo Pharmacy, a division of Apollo Hospitals Enterprises Ltd, is one such pharmacy and has over twenty outlets all over Bangalore. Hop into one any time of the day and you’ll be greeted by professional pharmacists and a huge stock of every drug available in the market.
