In Tenerife most chemists or Farmacia open during normal shopping hours. It is not difficult to find them as they are marked with a green cross. There is also a network of duty chemists which open 24 hours a day to provide cover for emergencies. There is usually a list displayed in each chemist that gives the address of the one on duty in the area for any given day.
Over-the-counter medicine is easy to get and most pharmacists will supply the Spanish equivalent of your prescription drugs sometimes without a written prescription if you run out.
If you need to go to hospital, Spanish medical facilities are among the best in the world. Medical and hospital services aren't free, so be sure that you have appropriate insurance coverage before you travel.
