Harlem Rx

Pharmacies anchor neighborhoods in ways few other businesses can. They’re where routine refills meet unexpected needs, where prescriptions become conversations about health beyond the label. In Central Harlem, Harlem Rx fills that role on a stretch of 116th Street where brownstones and bodegas share the sidewalk.

The store sits at 102 W 116th St New York, NY 10026, a block east of Malcolm X Boulevard. It handles everything from common antibiotics to specialty medications, along with over-the-counter staples like allergy relief and first-aid supplies. Vaccinations and health screenings are also part of the service mix, making it a practical stop for preventive care without the clinic wait.

Questions about dosages or side effects can be directed to (212) 666-8100. The line is typically staffed during standard business hours, though exact times aren’t posted online. For pickup or delivery coordination, the same number applies—no need to navigate separate extensions.

Directions are straightforward from the 2 or 3 train at 116th Street; the walk takes about three minutes. A map confirms the storefront’s position between a dry cleaner and a corner deli, a familiar sight for anyone passing through the area.
