Pharmacy at Kwattaweg 402 in Welgelegen listed as open 07:00–22:00 every day including Sundays, the longest published hours of any Paramaribo pharmacy we found. Reachable by phone overnight; not a walk-in 24-hour pharmacy.
Best for after-hours medicine, emergencies.
Apotheek Farmsur is a pharmacy on the Kwattaweg in Welgelegen, west of the centre, and the reason to know about it is its hours: two independent pharmacy directories list it as open from 07:00 to 22:00 every day of the week, Sundays included, which is the longest published opening of any Paramaribo pharmacy we found. Between 22:00 and 07:00 the listings say it can be reached by phone or through its app rather than at the counter, so treat it as a late-evening pharmacy, not a walk-in 24-hour one.
The directory profiles describe a family-owned business stocking generic and branded medicines alongside medical and surgical supplies, hygiene products and veterinary products. They disagree about when it was founded (one says 1966, another 1978), so we do not print a year.
Telephone +597 533 700 or +597 533 888. If you need medicine outside these hours, the weekly duty-pharmacy roster (wachtdienst) is the thing to check; it rotates and is not the same as this pharmacy's opening times.
Outside weekday hours, Suriname runs on a published duty roster: named GPs per district and two duty pharmacies, open two hours in the morning and two in the evening. Where the official list is, how to read it, the most recent roster we saw, and the pharmacy with the longest ordinary hours.
