With a strong focus on both inner and outer wellbeing, the pharmacy provides a variety of services and products designed to improve the overall health of its customers.
A Community-Focused Pharmacy
At Friendly Island Pharmacy, the mission is clear: To take care of clients' wellbeing, both inside and out. With a spacious layout and a welcoming environment, the pharmacy aims to make every visit a comfortable and easy experience. The friendly, multi-lingual staff (fluent in English, Dutch, French, Creole and Spanish) makes sure that customers can communicate their needs in a language they are most comfortable with, which reflects the multicultural nature of the island.
Friendly Island Pharmacy carries a wide selection to cater to every need including prescription medications, over-the-counter products, and beauty aids. The pharmacy takes pride in its extensive inventory, including European and American prescription medicines, vitamins, and OTC medications. Additionally, the store offers a variety of Dutch, French, and U.S. cosmetics, beauty products, and grooming items, making it a one-stop shop for all things health and beauty.

In addition to standard pharmaceutical services, Friendly Island Pharmacy provides a full suite of health and beauty care products designed to enhance your appearance and your overall sense of wellbeing. From skin care products to vitamins and dietary supplements, the pharmacy ensures you have access to the best brands from around the world. The pharmacy’s commitment to quality is evident in its adherence to FDA requirements and local regulations, ensuring that all products and services meet the highest standards of safety and efficacy. The spacious, well-organized store layout is designed to make shopping easy, whether you're browsing for medications or looking for a new skincare routine.
Special Services for Seniors
Friendly Island Pharmacy also understands that senior citizens and specific groups within the community require specialized care. To meet these needs, the pharmacy offers services tailored to skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, and continued care retirement communities. One of the key offerings for seniors is the Automated Dispensing System. This state-of-the-art system ensures the efficient and accurate dispensing of medications to elderly residents, a population often dealing with complex medication regimens. By minimizing errors and streamlining the process, the pharmacy ensures that seniors receive the best possible care while reducing the risks associated with medication mishandling.
Medication Safety: A Priority
At Friendly Island Pharmacy, medication safety is a top priority. The pharmacy’s team takes the time to provide customized advice tailored to each customer’s unique needs. For example, when it comes to painkillers, the pharmacy staff will discuss the type of pain you're experiencing and recommend the best medication for your situation. Some painkillers are available over the counter, while others require a prescription, and the pharmacists at Friendly Island Pharmacy will offer advice based on your age, health status, and other medications you may be taking.
The pharmacy emphasizes the importance of following prescription instructions and pharmacist recommendations to avoid any adverse reactions or side effects. By providing clear, personalized guidance, Friendly Island Pharmacy ensures that customers can manage their medications safely and effectively.
Pet Medication: Caring for Your Furry Friends
Friendly Island Pharmacy is not just for humans, it’s also a trusted provider of pet medications. The pharmacy fills prescriptions for animals, so you can be assured that your furry friends get the same level of care and attention as you do. Although insurance does not cover animal medications, Friendly Island Pharmacy offers affordable pricing to ensure that your pets stay healthy and happy.
First Aid Kit Refills
Your first aid kit should always be ready to tackle minor injuries or emergencies. At Friendly Island Pharmacy, you don’t have to buy an entirely new first aid kit when supplies expire or need replacement. Instead, the pharmacy offers individual refills for first aid kit items. This means you can simply replace the expired or missing items with fresh supplies without the hassle of purchasing a new kit from scratch.
Local Delivery: Convenient and Fast
For residents of Dutch Sint Maarten, Friendly Island Pharmacy offers a convenient local delivery service. The process is simple: once the pharmacy receives your order, the team quickly verifies prescriptions and prepares your medication for delivery. The pharmacy places great importance on accuracy and safety, ensuring you receive the correct medications every time.
Same-day FREE delivery is available for orders placed before 11:00am, ensuring that you get your medications when you need them most. For over-the-counter (OTC) products, the pharmacy offers next-day free delivery for orders over $20, while smaller OTC orders incur a $10 delivery fee.
