The Good Stuff
Insurance Support
Staff have followed up on insurance approvals, including cases initially declined by the insurer.
Delivery Help
Reviews describe medicine delivery being arranged to a customer’s home, including across emirates.
Orthopaedic Supplies
Orthopaedic braces and bands are specifically recommended in one review.
Quick Visits
Several recent reviews mention quick, organised service and little waiting time.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check Approval. For insured prescriptions, ask the pharmacy to follow up on approval before you leave; reviews describe persistent follow-up helping resolve declines.
Ask Delivery. If approval or collection is difficult, ask whether home delivery can be arranged; one review describes delivery from Dubai to Sharjah.
Allow Time. If collecting prescription medicine, allow extra time rather than relying on a quick visit, as some customers reported waits of 30 to 40 minutes.
Check Alternatives. If a prescription is delayed, ask whether another branch can supply it; one customer had medicine obtained internally from Muweilah.

The Bottom Line
Aster Pharmacy in Al Qusais is a practical stop for prescription medicines and everyday health needs. You can ask for help understanding dosage or administration, follow up on insurance approvals, and enquire about orthopaedic braces and bands. Reviews also mention vitamins and cosmetics as purchases made here.
The pharmacy’s strongest point is hands-on support when a prescription becomes difficult. Customers describe staff pursuing insurance approvals after an initial rejection, arranging medicine delivery to a home in Sharjah, and obtaining a medicine from the Muweilah branch when another pharmacy could not supply it. That makes the branch worth considering for complicated or time-sensitive prescriptions, not just routine purchases.
Service speed is less consistent than the overall positive feedback suggests. Recent reviews mention quick, organised visits and little waiting, but other customers reported 30–40-minute waits, more than an hour for a prescription, and delays late at night after a clinic appointment. One review also criticised the token system and another reported callbacks that never came.
For an urgent collection, confirm the expected wait and ask directly about insurance progress or delivery options.
