The first time we visited Bali after a long absence, we took what seemed like the entire contents of our local chemist with us. In fact, our original first aid kit for Bali contained every little thing we could have ever possibly needed for almost every conceivable illness or injury! (We’ve now streamlined it – here’s a list of what we take now)
If truth be told, we went more than a little overboard, especially when we found out that there’s a chemist on every second street corner. In Bali chemists are now hot property (called Apoteks), and they are stocked almost as well as any chemist we’d find in Australia or throughout the Western World.
Convenience stores also stock basic first aid supplies such as headache tablets, medicine for grumbly tummies, cold and flu tablets, and drinks such as Pocari Sweat and sports drinks to help with rehydration.

Bali Chemists – The most popular ones to look out for.
There are a number of Bali Chemists, the most popular of which include Guardian and Kimia Farma Apotek. You’ll find these close to hospitals, and throughout the built up tourist areas of Bali including Kuta/Legian, Seminyak, Canggu, Sanur, Nusa Dua, and Ubud.
Guardian Chemists in Bali
The Guardian chain of Bali Chemists are probably the most visible and well-known chemists in Bali. Their stores are laid out just like a chemist at home, and they stock a huge range of products including sanitary items, soaps and body washes, insect repellents, first aid supplies, medicines, shampoos and conditioners, face and body creams, toothbrushes and toothpaste, sunscreen, and even some souvenir items.
The Guardian Pharmacy in the Lippo Mall is the only place I’ve ever been able to buy Norit Charcoal tablets, despite asking around constantly.
