Avoid this chemist at all costs as your purchase will be a costly one! My elderly mother has been a loyal customer here for many years and normally deals with Lisa. The last time she went to the chemist she bought from Lisa a number of random baby related items which neither she nor any in the family had use for. All of these items were GROSSLY overpriced. When I discovered these items with her medication I put them aside to return them the next time. I checked the bag for a receipt, however, they only gave one for her medication. When I went back today, Lisa said the returns policy was 14 days and refused to take these items back. Avoid this chemist and if your elderly relatives have to use it be very careful that they are not taken advantage of. RIP off Ireland is alive and well in Advance Pharmacy Drumcondra!!

Very friendly approachable and knowledgeable staff. It has a very community feel to the pharmacy even though it's close to the city centre. Staff always remember your name and are more than willing to give you all the time and attention you need in explaining things, especially with prescriptions and medication. I've been getting my prescriptions here for years and can honestly say it's always been a pleasant experience.The prices are very good and the service is excellent. Even if I'm looking for something they don't usually stock they'll always offer to order it in for me. I would definitely recommend this pharmacy for all your prescription and over the counter medicines needs.

  • Victoria Reginato

Worst experience ever! Gotta to “announce” to the whole pharmacy that I was looking for pads cause the girl didn’t let me get in and take it for myself. Definitely over priced pharmacy. Paid 17€ for painkillers, that wherever else would pay top 11€. I mean, seventeen euros for painkillers, serious? Are ya literally making the painkillers there to be this overpriced? Nah, it’s better to walk 10 extra minutes and find stuff for regular prices. Not the only pharmacy in drumcondra and definitely not the be best one either.

  • Melissa Nolan

Absolutely disgraceful that these people are allowed to charge the prices they do. I used this pharmacy recently as it was the only place opened at the time and they charged me €18 for a box of pain medication which costs €10-€12 in other pharmacies on the same street!! I noticed their prices on other products on the way out the door and their mark up on everything is absolutely ridiculous!! I refuse, even if I was desperate, to ever set foot in this rip off place ever again.

  • Thiago Loti

Advance Pharmacy is not a recommended option if you want to avoid being overcharged. I was charged 380 euros for a medicine that I could have bought for 150 euros elsewhere. Their business practices are unethical and greedy, as they prioritize profits over their customers’ well-being and health. Their lack of professionalism and disregard for their customers is a disgrace to the pharmacy profession. I would suggest steering clear of them and informing others.

Please avoid Advance Pharmacy if you don’t want to be overcharged. I was charged 380 euros for a medicine that I could have purchased for 150 euros elsewhere. Their business practices are unethical and greedy. They prioritize profits over their customers’ well-being and health. Their lack of professionalism and disregard for their customers is a disgrace to the pharmacy profession. I would recommend staying away from them and warning others.

  • terracota Val

A week ago I needed medication for a health problem for a week five times a day .The medication cost me 55 euros in a pharmacy near the hospital that I was attended. This week I needed more medication for three days and five times a day (the half than the previous week). The price in Advanced Pharmacy has been 56 euros for three days. They almost charge double for the same medication. I really do not recommend that you go to this pharmacy.

  • Patrick Moran

I was charged €24 for 24 nurofen plus tablets, they wanted €17 for 12 tablets. I figured out l was been ripped off but did not know to what extent. On my way walking back up Drumcondra rd l checked the price with both Parks and Boles chemist's which are only a very short distance away, they were both charging €16 for the same product. I checked the price with a few more, mainly €16 with an odd €17. Disgusting behaviour by this chemist.

  • Thiago Loti

Do not go to Advance Pharmacy unless you want to be robbed. They charged me 380 euros for a medicine that I could have bought for 150 euros elsewhere. They are dishonest and greedy. They do not care about their customers or their health. They only care about making a profit. They are a disgrace to the pharmacy profession. They have no ethics or professionalism. Stay away from them and warn others.

  • Michael

Medications, prescription and over the counter, cost practically double the price here than anywhere else. My monthly script cost €95 here. When I enquired in the other pharmacy nearby they said that it would cost €55 in there. Complete rip off. How they get away with their pricing I don’t know.

  • Ahmed Elshikh Amer

I would recommend caution when dealing with this particular chemist, as they have allegedly overcharged me for the medication, Ozempic. I believe I may have fallen victim to a scam, as the price I was charged was more than double the regular price.

  • Chloe Donnelly

Was recommended to come here by a friend and I can honestly this is the best pharmacy in Dublin! Such a friendly and warm environment! Thank you to Lisa who helped me out loads!! Also 20% off for students!! Amazing!! See yous next time!!

  • Aoife Duffy

This pharmacy charged me 18 euro for one weeks supply of prescription medication. Absolutely bowled over by the cheek of this in the midst of a cost of living crisis. It would have cost 7 euro in another pharmacy.

  • Deirdre Fox

This is a very unpleasant pharmacy, everything is severely overpriced, and some of the staff are unfriendly. Parks and Boles pharmacies are both close by and have that lovely family run atmosphere.

  • Ken Kelly

No stars overcharged me for medication that was 5 euro cheaper in every other pharmacies. When I asked why I was given no explanation so I asked for refund which was given but no apologies.

  • Mubeen Hassan

Fraud pharmacy. Charged me 108€ for the same medicine which I check was for 35€ from another pharmacy in city centre. Just check with other pharmacy's rates before getting robbed here.

  • Nicolas Lo Bianco

The woman at the entrance was really nice and helpful. She took time to explain me everything clearly for each drug bought. Thank you so much I totally recommend this pharmacy!

  • Luke O'Donnell

Great experience here with really helpful staff who helped me out with a contact lens situation when I was in a hurry. This would be my go-to pharmacy if I lived in the area!

  • Stephen Tarpey

Came here recently, the staff, and management couldn't have been more helpful and polite. Was given a 20% student discount, making the it an extremely pleasant experience.

  • neal krishna

Guys, make sure to check the price somewhere else or just google it before buying here. You may find it way too expensive, sometimes up to 40% extra. The people are nice.

  • Cillian Quinn

Avoid. This pharmacy price gouge to a ridiculous level. For example: 17 euro for 2 FFP masks. 10 euro for 5, 2 minutes walk away. Profiting off people doing their best.

  • manglert

Appalling price gouging from these chancers, all the basics are hugely overpriced. There are so many other chemists that are reasonable, so why encourage cowboys?

  • maria finn

Disgraceful mark up on products, go elsewhere if you can. €5 dearer for painkillers than other chemists. Shop always empty as I pass by, now I know why.

  • Mubeen Hassan

Pathetic Pharmacy, Just overpricing 3 times higher than normal rates. Never consider them for your regular needs just bother to check other shops.

  • C Downey

Have just been quoted € 367.00 for a medicine that costs €120.00 everywhere else. Beyond shocking exploitation, avoid at all costs.

  • John Kelly

Overpriced kip, prices double what the competitors are charging. Just go to Boles nearby or Park's if it's late at night

  • Brian Golden

Gave lots of really helpful advice even when a sale didn’t look likely. Exactly what you want from a pharmacy.

  • Joe Lee

Charge 39 euro for 5 covid antigen tests. 12 to 12.50 elsewhere. Charge 11.50 for 1 test. Bonkers

  • Graham

Charges 11.50 for a Covid test, avoid like the plague. Overcharges as everyone else says

  • Glenda Lacey

17.40e for pain relief that are max 11e every other chemist, absolute rip off.

  • Mark Kelly

These gougers charge €28.50 for lyclear shampoo, it costs €18 everywhere else
