Farmacias Galeno lists its branch at 1a Calle 11-25, Zona 1 (7951-2222) as open 24 hours. Apomedix lists two pharmacy-and-clinic branches, at 2a Calle 1-38 C, Zona 2 (2315-5724) and 1a Calle 2-35, Zona 4 (2315-5732), with pharmacy hours of 7:00-20:00 Monday to Saturday and 7:00-19:00 on Sunday. Meykos lists a branch in Centro Comercial Plaza Magdalena. Farmacias Batres publishes no branch list we could read, so we could not verify its Coban branches.
