As a regular visitor to Tenerife, I have occasionally needed to visit a Doctor for advice, it was last year that I found out how helpful the chemists are when compared to the UK.
It might be helpful if people know of good chemists that have offered advice to post their location here for all to see. :idea:

Make sure that the chemist that you go in to is a FARMACÍA. There is a very similar looking shop, also displaying the familiar green cross, but the sign will say PARAFARMACÍA. This is a natural health shop, not a chemist. They will sell you herbal remedies and homeopathic mixtures that may well not help you in your hour of need.

We use the Pharmacia in Callao Salvaje as our doctor is just across the road from them. They are really friendly and helpful and much cheaper than our local parmacia in Playa San Juan for items such as Aspirin and contact lens solution. I still can't believe that a one month prescription of statins costs just €0.92 over here!

If I'm thinking correctly, is that the Farmacia as you come down towards the two garages from the Tenerife Sur, it's on the right hand side beside a fruit shop?

Yes, but the fruit shop has closed down now.
