Farmacia Olivares

Nestled on Reyes Católicos Street, one of the most emblematic avenues in Granada, Farmacia Olivares stands as a symbol of tradition and commitment to health. Located at the foot of the Alhambra gardens, it is not only one of the oldest pharmacies in the city but also a cherished part of its historical and cultural fabric. Founded in 1909 under the name García Duarte, it has served generations of Granadinos with dedication and care.

The team, composed of Lda. Milagros García, Lda. Laura Martínez, and Lda. Sandra Merlos, brings a wealth of experience and professionalism. Their collaborative approach ensures that every customer receives expert attention, whether they come seeking routine care or more personalised support.

A cornerstone of their services is the preparation of master prescriptions, a practice rooted in the pharmacy’s heritage. These formulations are uniquely tailored to each patient’s needs and require a physician’s prescription, reinforcing the commitment to safety and effectiveness. Alongside this, the pharmacy places great emphasis on pharmacotherapeutic monitoring. Beyond simply dispensing medicines, the team provides comprehensive pharmaceutical care—assessing symptoms, advising on minor ailments, and monitoring treatment to prevent adverse effects or dosage issues.

Preventive health is another focus, with blood pressure monitoring services aimed at managing cardiovascular risks. The pharmacy also offers weight control support, including detailed assessments of body fat, BMI, and overall metabolic health, helping clients make informed lifestyle changes to reduce the risk of chronic conditions such as diabetes or fatty liver disease.

For those seeking guidance on nutrition, the pharmacy provides dietary advice that considers both health needs and personal lifestyle. This holistic approach to wellness is further reflected in their dermo-cosmetic consultations, where clients receive tailored recommendations for managing skin conditions such as rosacea, acne, or atopic dermatitis.

Orthopaedic support is also available, with a variety of aids including crutches, braces, insoles, and more. These are always accompanied by personalised advice to ensure comfort and proper use.

Farmacia Olivares continues to blend tradition with modern pharmaceutical care, offering its clients not only products but a deep-rooted sense of trust. Its central location and long-standing presence make it a valued part of Granada’s healthcare landscape, where patients are treated with professionalism, warmth, and respect.
