TL;DR
Pharmacies are available in Naama Bay (including a Russian-speaking one near Fix Price) and in Old Town; the airport and most hotels don't have their own pharmacy, and local ones typically open 9:30–20:00/22:00.
There's no pharmacy inside Sharm El Sheikh airport, so buy any medicine in town beforehand rather than counting on getting it before your flight.
In Naama Bay there's a Russian-speaking pharmacy near the Fix Price store, useful if you need familiar medicines with explanations you understand.
Not every hotel has an on-site pharmacy - ask reception whether they can arrange delivery of medicine from a pharmacy in town.
If a pharmacy is located on hotel grounds, its hours can be inconsistent - staff have quoted anywhere from 9:30 to 20:00 depending on the shift, so it's best to check on site.
There's a pharmacy in Old Town (near the old market area); you can get there by taxi and split the fare with fellow travelers if going together.
A state (government) pharmacy is located in the Naama Bay area, reachable via the free shuttle bus that many hotels provide for guests.
