Find a pharmacy in Belzyce
Belzyce is a small town in Lublin Voivodeship, roughly 25 kilometres west of Lublin city, serving a resident population of around 7,000 plus the wider rural gmina that surrounds it. The seven pharmacies listed in PillsCard's directory cover a catchment that extends well beyond the town limits, drawing patients from neighbouring villages such as Wojciechow, Niedrzwica Duza and the farming settlements along the Krezniczanka river. Most outlets cluster around the market square (Rynek) and the main artery of Lubelska street, with a hospital-adjacent pharmacy serving the local SPZOZ Szpital Powiatowy on Lubelska 90. The mix is typical of a Polish powiat town: chain outlets sit alongside independents, and footfall peaks on market days and after morning surgery hours at the local primary care clinics.
The local market reflects the broader Polish pattern of consolidation around national chains tempered by stubborn independents. APTEKA DBAM O ZDROWIE and DOZ Apteka.Dbam o Zdrowie.Elwin represent the Pelion-owned DOZ network, the dominant retail chain across Lublin Voivodeship, typically stocking the widest range of OTC lines and offering loyalty pricing on chronic medication. Apteka Centrum anchors the Rynek area and tends to be the default walk-in for residents needing same-day prescriptions, while Apteka Szpitalna operates in close coordination with the powiat hospital and handles a higher share of specialist and post-discharge dispensing. Independents round out the list, often staying open later on weekday evenings and competing on personal service rather than price.
Pricing & coverage
Refundable prescription medicines dispensed under NFZ typically cost between 3.20 PLN (the fixed ryczalt fee) and 30 PLN for partially reimbursed lines; insulin and many cardiac medicines fall at the lower end. A standard private prescription for antibiotics such as amoxicillin runs roughly 15-35 PLN, while common OTC analgesics like ibuprofen 200 mg (20 tablets) sit around 8-14 PLN. Patients over 75 access the Lek 75+ programme free of charge for listed medicines. The official refund list is published by the Ministry of Health and underlying authorisations are searchable via the URPL register. NFZ entitlement is verified electronically through the eWUS system at the counter.
Emergencies & out-of-hours care
Belzyce does not maintain a 24-hour pharmacy; out-of-hours dispensing follows the powiat duty rota (dyzur apteczny) coordinated through Starostwo Powiatowe in Lublin, with the nearest reliable overnight options usually in Lublin city itself. For acute medical emergencies, dial 112 — the SOR (hospital emergency department) at SPZOZ Szpital Powiatowy on Lubelska 90 in Belzyce handles immediate triage, with onward transfer to SPSK or University Hospital No. 4 in Lublin for major trauma or cardiac cases. Nocna i swiateczna opieka zdrowotna (night and weekend primary care) is available at the same hospital site.
