Farmácia Telo stands on Rua Henrique Correia da Silva, a few minutes' walk from the Lagos hospital unit and the Portuguese Red Cross post. That location makes it the natural stop for anyone leaving an appointment with a prescription in hand. The technical director is Dr. Henrique Arruda Tavares, and the counter is used to serving visitors in English and French as well as Portuguese.
Beyond dispensing prescriptions, the pharmacy provides a range of health services on the premises. Vaccines and injections are administered here, and you can have your blood pressure, total cholesterol, blood glucose and triglycerides measured, as well as height, weight and body mass index.
It also stocks and advises on veterinary products, which is less usual among the pharmacies in the town centre and useful for anyone travelling with a pet.
Farmácia Telo keeps long weekday hours and takes its turn on the county's night duty rota. Before crossing town late at night, check the current serviço permanente listing to confirm which pharmacy is on duty.
