Tips for a Better Visit
Check hours. Plan around the stated hours: Sunday–Thursday 10am–10pm, and Friday–Saturday 10am–11pm.
Call ahead. For a specific medicine, call before travelling, but note one review reports unanswered calls over two days.
Ask alternatives. If your medicine is unavailable, ask whether an alternative can be provided; one review says this was done professionally.
Ask insurance. If you have insurance, ask whether the pharmacy can process the medicine through it, as one customer reported time saved.

The Bottom Line
Aster Pharmacy is inside Dragon Mart in International City, serving customers looking for medicines, supplements and everyday pharmacy essentials. Reviews specifically mention multivitamins, over-the-counter products, Lytess slimming and skincare items, and help obtaining medicine through insurance. The pharmacy is also described as clean and organised, which makes browsing non-prescription products straightforward.
The strongest pattern in the feedback is one-to-one help. Several customers say pharmacists explained medicines clearly, listened to symptoms and suggested suitable products or alternatives. One review says staff helped make a medicine available after it was out of stock, while another says an insurance-related purchase saved time.
That makes it worth asking about options rather than assuming an unavailable item is the end of the conversation. Service is not completely consistent. A few older reviews describe staff as uncaring, report unanswered calls over two days, or criticise a refusal to sell vomiting medicine to a child near closing time.
For a time-sensitive prescription or urgent need, call ahead and visit before closing where possible. The stated hours are 10am–10pm Sunday to Thursday and 10am–11pm Friday and Saturday.
