The Good Stuff
Supplement sourcing
Staff managed to arrange a supplement that was unavailable at other pharmacies.
Late opening
The branch is described as easy to access and open late, useful when an urgent medicine or product is needed.
Quick visits
A customer reports short waits even during busy hours, alongside a clean and well-organised store.
WhatsApp requests
Customers can use WhatsApp for requests, according to one review, with quick service and deliveries also mentioned.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm stock. Before ordering online, confirm the item’s stock and delivery timing; customers reported conflicting app and website availability.
Allow time. Avoid relying on delivery for urgent medicines unless the ETA is confirmed, as one review describes consistently late service.
Check approvals. If using insurance, ask the pharmacy to confirm the approval status and next steps before waiting for collection.
Ask questions. Ask the pharmacist to explain your medication and clarify anything unclear; this is one of the branch’s repeatedly praised strengths.
Check cosmetics. For skincare purchases, inspect the product and clarify the return window promptly, particularly if colour or quality seems unusual.
Visit late. For an urgent in-person purchase, the branch is reported to stay open late and remain quick even during busy hours.

The Bottom Line
Aster Pharmacy at Aspect Towers serves Business Bay with everyday medicines, skincare and wellness products. Reviews make its strongest case around in-person help: staff explain prescriptions clearly, doctors are described as knowledgeable, and pediatricians receive a specific mention. The team has also helped arrange a supplement that was unavailable elsewhere.
The branch is reported to be clean, organised, easy to access and open late. One customer says service remains quick even during busy hours, while another mentions WhatsApp responses for requests. That makes the store useful for a straightforward visit, especially when you need advice rather than simply collecting a box.
Delivery is the main caution. Reviews describe late or missed orders, including medicine delayed for six hours and an online order that remained undelivered for two weeks. Stock information has also differed between the app and website, so confirm availability and timing before relying on home delivery.
Insurance approvals have caused problems for at least one customer, although another reported quick approvals through the pharmacy and its connected providers. Pricing is worth checking too: one customer paid 260 AED for a serum and later found the same product on Amazon for 110 AED.
