Nishino Pharmacy at Takashimaya brings Japanese pharmaceutical and health products to Singapore's Orchard Road. This specialised pharmacy is "full of over-the-counter medicines and supplements familiar in Japan"—carefully selected masterpieces from Japanese pharmaceutical companies that might otherwise be unavailable to Singapore residents.
The store carries Japanese health supplements, skincare products, toiletries, and medications that have gained approval in Japan's rigorous pharmaceutical regulatory system. For Japanese expatriates living in Singapore, Nishino Pharmacy provides access to familiar brands and formulations from home. For Singapore residents, it offers exposure to Japanese health and beauty innovations that might not yet have reached broader international distribution.
What makes Nishino Pharmacy valuable is the cultural bridge it creates between Japanese and Singapore approaches to health and wellness. Japanese consumers prioritise preventative care and nutritional supplements in ways that differ from Western approaches, and Nishino Pharmacy introduces these philosophies through product availability. The staff can explain Japanese product usage and ingredients that might be unfamiliar to non-Japanese speakers.
Located in Takashimaya, Nishino Pharmacy places Japanese pharmaceutical products in a premium retail environment that reflects their quality positioning. For health-conscious consumers interested in Japanese approaches to wellness, or those seeking specific Japanese formulations that have worked for them personally, Nishino Pharmacy provides authorised access without the uncertainties of cross-border online purchasing. The presence alongside international brands at Takashimaya demonstrates Japanese pharmaceutical excellence's global relevance.

Really poor service. Bought a wrong product through her recommandation, and refused to refund. Her poor product knowledge is pathetic, but her poor customer service really takes the cake. I don't understand why she still has a job, especially when Japanese are known for their high standards. Shocking.

Me and my colleague had very bad experiences yesterday. The lady who is worked around 4pm yesterday had a very bad attitude. As a salesperson, she doesn't even know the most basic manners. She is so horrible.

I did not believe the other review. Yet, when I walked in there was a lady who totally ignored me and continued doing her paper work while I was waiting in front of her. So I left not buying anything.

While I was browsing through the shop there's an older sales lady blocking the aisle showing a severely unfriendly face. Left immediately.

A million thanks to Ms Faye Lee for giving me good advise on maintenance of hair. I was experiencing dry & itchy scalp & she recommended Rausch shampoo & Rausch Rinse conditioner to me. I cannot thank Ms Faye enough as my hair is now truly soft, tangle-free & best of all, no itchy scalp!! Thank you Ms Faye, you’re awesome! Thank you Nishino Pharmacy for stocking up such great products!

My wife and I were down with diarrhea when we were in Singapore for a short trip. We went to this pharmacy for help. Thankfully, the male pharmacist was extremely helpful to us. We took the products recommended by him and our stomach symptoms disappeared by that evening. Wonderful experience!

A pharmacy is about its products. And they sell a good sampling similar to what is seen in Tokyo. The staff is quite blur though as they are not well versed with the product and cannot locate the item I showed even though a similar one was on the shelf.

Easiest access at the Orchard Rd and Orchard Link entrance. Take the escalators or elevators DOWN to B2. Get off elevators and turn right
