The designated pharmacies are ▲ Daeyu Pharmacy near the Seodaemun-gu Office intersection (359 Moraenae-ro) ▲ Eunha Pharmacy near Baekryeon Children's Park (1 Myeongji-daero 3-gil) ▲ Myeong Pharmacy near Exit 4 of Sinchon Station (109 Sinchon-ro, 1st floor, No. 111-2), totaling three locations.


The operating hours are from 10 PM to 1 AM the next day. Daeyu Pharmacy operates 365 days including Sundays and public holidays, while Eunha Pharmacy and Myeong Pharmacy operate Monday through Saturday nights, excluding Sunday nights.


These pharmacies provide general medicines, quasi-drugs, and prescription medicines dispensed according to prescriptions.
