# Apotek K-24 Cakranegara: The 24-Hour Pharmacy
It's 2am. Your toddler has a 39°C fever and you're out of paracetamol. Or you've thrown up four times in the last hour and need ondansetron now, not in the morning. Or the antibiotic course you're halfway through has run out and the next dose is supposed to be at 6am. These are the situations where Apotek K-24 in Cakranegara matters — it's Lombok's only true 24-hour pharmacy and the after-hours fallback for the entire island.
K-24 is a national Indonesian chain (the "K" is for kasih, meaning "care," and "24" indicates 24-hour service) operating dozens of branches across Indonesia, all with the same 24/7/365 commitment. The Cakranegara branch is the only K-24 on Lombok.
K-24 is genuinely open every hour of every day, including:
Staffing is reduced overnight (1–2 staff vs. 3–5 during day hours) but the dispensary is fully operational. Prescription dispensing, OTC sales, and consultation are available 24 hours.

Probably wait until morning:
The drive from Senggigi to Cakranegara is 25 minutes at night (faster than daytime). From Kuta Lombok it's 50 minutes. Worth it for genuine emergencies; not worth it for things that can wait.
K-24 partners with Gojek and Grab for delivery service to Mataram-area addresses. Process:
1. WhatsApp the pharmacy at +62 813 3724 0024 with prescription photo or OTC request.
2. Pharmacy confirms availability and price.
3. They book a Gojek/Grab driver to deliver.
4. You pay the driver in cash on arrival (or via the Gojek/Grab app).
Delivery typically takes 30–60 minutes within Mataram, longer to outer areas. Delivery fee is 15,000–40,000 IDR depending on distance. Useful for after-hours when you don't want to drive.
For Senggigi, Kuta Lombok, and Gili Islands deliveries, K-24 doesn't typically deliver — the distance and time make it impractical.
K-24 prices are similar to other Indonesian chain pharmacies during day hours and slightly elevated for some medications during night hours (10–15% premium reflecting the 24-hour staffing cost). For genuine emergencies the premium is irrelevant; the medication is what matters.
Cash IDR, USD cash, Visa/Mastercard (2% surcharge) accepted at all hours.
Location: Jalan Pejanggik No. 67, Cakranegara, central-east Mataram. The pharmacy is on the main thoroughfare, next to several gold shops in the heritage commercial quarter.
From Senggigi: 25 minutes by car (taxis or hotel shuttle at night). Grab works at any hour.
From Kuta Lombok: 50 minutes by car.
From Gili Islands: not practical at night — boats stop. Wait until morning or have items couriered to the Bangsal harbor for boat pickup.
Hours: 24/7/365.
Payment: IDR cash, USD cash (daily exchange rate), Visa/Mastercard with 2% surcharge.
Parking: Small lot in front, sometimes full during day. Plenty of space at night.
Every traveler to Lombok should save K-24's number in their phone (+62 813 3724 0024) before arriving. You may never need it. But if you do — middle of the night, sick child, ran out of essential medication, public holiday with everything else closed — K-24 being available is one of those small things that turns a stressful situation into a manageable one. The information cost is zero; the value when needed is significant.
