Pharmacies in Da Nang: where they are, how late they open, and what to sort out before you need one
The pharmacy is the thing you don’t think about until 10pm on a Sunday. Worth ten minutes now: find the two nearest you, note the closing times, and get your regular medication written down properly while you’re still feeling fine.
Details below come from listings on vietSpots, checked on 09/11/2026 — 22 listings in the category, 12 of them in Da Nang.
If you live around An Thượng
The densest cluster is in Ngũ Hành Sơn, which is convenient given how many long-stayers live there. SVC Pharmacy at 59 Phan Tôn runs to 23:30 and CVC Pharmacy at 214c Trần Bạch Đằng the same. VVC+ Pharmacy at 102 Mai Thúc Lân, CVC+ Pharmacy at 21 Mỹ Đa Đông 12 and VVC Pharmacy at 30 Hoàng Kế Viêm all run 07:00–23:00. Those last four share a single phone number, so they’re branches of one operation — handy if one is out of something.
One of them, the Hoàng Kế Viêm branch, carries аптека on its sign alongside the Vietnamese, which tells you something about who the neighbourhood serves.
In the centre
Hana Pharmacy at 149 Trần Phú runs 07:00–22:30; Nhà thuốc Gia Đình Việt at 15/2 Phan Đình Phùng opens earliest of any on this list, 06:30, and closes 22:30. 3GO Pharmacy at 19 Hùng Vương runs 08:00–23:00, 66 Pharma at 66 Lý Tự Trọng 07:00–22:00, and Nhà thuốc Trường Sinh at 182B Phan Châu Trinh 08:00–21:00 — the earliest closer here, worth noting.
Across the river
Blue Pharmacy on Lâm Hoành in An Hải runs 07:00–23:00. And the latest on the whole list: Nhà thuốc Phúc An 1 at K2/11 Hà Bổng, open until midnight. If you only save one number, save that one.
Sort this out before you need it
🧾 Write down the generic name of anything you take regularly — the chemical name, not the brand. Brand names differ between countries, and the generic name is what gets you understood anywhere. 📦 Keep the original packaging or a clear photo of it, along with your prescription from home. ❓ Ask what needs a prescription here — the rules differ from your own country’s, so ask at the counter rather than assuming either way. 📍 Note two pharmacies, not one — the nearest, and the latest-closing one you can reach. They’re rarely the same place. 🗣️ Have the name written, not spoken — showing the box or a note works far better than pronouncing a drug name across a language gap.
For anything beyond a pharmacy
A pharmacy is not a clinic. For an emergency in Vietnam the official ambulance number is 115; police is 113 and fire is 114. Call those directly — not an app hotline, which is not an emergency service. For anything that isn’t urgent but isn’t a pharmacy matter either, ask your pharmacist or your building to point you to a clinic, and check in advance whether your travel insurance needs you to go somewhere specific.
