Aster Pharmacy - Health Bay, Al Wasl Road (169)

Aster Pharmacy in Umm Suqeim is useful for prescription collection, over-the-counter medicines and follow-up when an insurance claim needs sorting. Customers describe pharmacists explaining treatment clearly, checking coverage and arranging medicine delivery; the branch is also next to a clinic, which is handy after an appointment. The service can go beyond simply handing over what is in stock.

One reviewer said staff coordinated with the clinic to replace an unavailable medicine for insurance coverage, while another reported that a hard-to-find medicine, out of stock everywhere, was located after a full day of searching. Customers also mention advice on probiotics medicine, alternatives, the Pharma Line range during sales, and over-the-counter drugs. There are important caveats.

A July 2026 review says calls and WhatsApp messages went unanswered, leaving a baby’s medicine tied up in the pharmacy’s approval process. Another customer waited more than two and a half hours for an urgent order, and two June reviews describe being left waiting during an unresolved process and then directed to another Aster branch. For urgent prescriptions, confirm availability, approval status and delivery timing before relying on this branch.

Parking was reported as available at any time, but that note dates from 2023.
