There are 5 main "Farmácias" in Lagos, marked with the “Green Plus” sign. The one shown is at the foot of the road to the A&E Hospital.
These Farmácias also manage a rota system which gives an out-of-hours service, 7 days a week – though not necessarily 24/7 – publicised in each pharmacy
They all have qualified pharmacists who can give a "front-line" diagnostic service. Note that although the “Technical Director” of the pharmacy is always shown as “Doctor Xxyyzz”, this is a courtesy title; they are qualified pharmacists, not doctors.
There are also some “Parafarmácias” in the town, which usually have a BLUE cross as their sign. (For example, there is such a unit within, but separate from, the main Intermarché supermarket). They may have pharmacists on the premises for advice and guidance about minor ailments, but they cannot dispense prescription drugs. They can be very handy for non-prescription items, anti-septic creams and pain-killers like “Paracetemol”, which cannot be sold in ordinary supermarkets or shops in Portugal.
