She explains medications clearly, gives practical guidance, and makes sure you fully understand everything before you leave. Her calm attitude and friendly approach make the whole process smooth and reassuring. Fathima is truly an asset to the pharmacy, and her professionalism stands out. Highly recommended.

⚠️ Please double-check prices before buying items not covered by insurance. Today, I purchased a skin cream prescribed by the doctor for AED 189. After reaching home, I checked the same product on the Aster app, and it was listed there for only AED 129. That is a AED 60 difference for the exact same item, which is really disappointing. I feel patients are not being given enough transparency. The prescription was sent directly to the pharmacy instead of being handed to me, which made it difficult to compare prices before purchasing. This creates confusion and may lead patients to unknowingly pay more. I am sharing this so others stay alert: always ask the doctor for your prescription and compare the price outside, especially if the medicine or product is not covered by insurance. Please be careful and do not assume the price will be the same everywhere.
