How to Find Pharmacies in Guatemala City

Guatemala City has the densest pharmacy coverage in the country, with chains like Galeno, Meykos, Batres, Cruz Verde and Carolina & H. Galeno, Meykos and Cruz Verde each publish a branch locator (Galeno 1702, Meykos PBX 1722, Cruz Verde PBX 1728). For most residents and visitors, the fastest way to get medication is by calling a delivery line rather than physically visiting a store.

Late-Night Delivery

The US Embassy’s pharmacy list for the Guatemala City area (read 8 October 2026) gives Farmacias Galeno (2200-5555 and 2270-1111; Galeno’s own website shows 1702) free home delivery 24 hours a day, Sunday to Saturday. Meykos (2422-2422) delivers 7:00-22:00 Monday to Saturday and 8:00-21:00 on Sunday, so its delivery line is not 24 hours. Cruz Verde (1728) delivers 8:00-20:00 every day. The same list warns that counterfeit medicine is common in Guatemala and advises using only reputable pharmacies and inspecting the packaging.

Which Zone Has the Most Pharmacies?

No source we found counts pharmacies by zone, so this page does not rank zones. Each chain’s own branch locator lets you filter by zone.

Money-Saving Tips

  • No published source compares prices between chains, so compare the same medicine by phone or in each chain’s online shop
  • Ask for medicamentos genéricos (generic versions of the same active ingredient)
  • The national pharmacies page covers the chains nationwide
