Find a pharmacy in Bialogard
Bialogard is a district town in West Pomerania with roughly 24,000 residents, and PillsCard lists 8 verified pharmacies serving the urban core and the surrounding rural gmina. The catchment extends well beyond municipal borders: villagers from Tychowo, Karlino and Połczyn-Zdrój routinely travel into Bialogard for prescriptions, since the town hosts the only regional hospital pharmacy between Koszalin and Szczecinek. Most outlets cluster along ulica Wojska Polskiego and around Plac Wolności, with a secondary node near the railway station and the Kaufland retail park. Demand peaks in summer, when Baltic-coast holidaymakers detour inland for repeat prescriptions, and again during the autumn flu-vaccination drive run jointly with local GP practices contracted to the NFZ.
The local market is fragmented rather than chain-dominated, though one national brand has a foothold: Dr. Max anchors the modern-retail segment, while independent operators such as APTEKA ŚW. WAWRZYŃCA and Apteka "Specyfik" retain loyal clientele built over decades. APTEKA NA WOJSKA POLSKIEGO sits on the main commercial spine and handles the heaviest daytime footfall, with APTEKA NA LUDOWEJ serving the residential blocks east of the centre. The APTEKA SZPITALNA inside Szpital Powiatowy dispenses to inpatients and supplies specialist oncology and cardiology preparations not always stocked elsewhere. Smaller neighbourhood points such as Pigułka round out coverage, ensuring no Bialogard resident lives more than a 10-minute walk from a counter.
Pricing & coverage
Out-of-pocket costs in Bialogard track national Polish norms. A standard pack of generic paracetamol or ibuprofen runs 6–12 PLN, while branded antibiotics typically fall in the 15–45 PLN range. Chronic-condition medicines (statins, ACE inhibitors, metformin) sit at 8–25 PLN per month once the NFZ refund is applied, and many are listed on the free "65+" and "Ciąża+" programmes for eligible patients. A private flu jab administered in-pharmacy costs around 45–60 PLN. NFZ reimbursement requires a Polish e-prescription code plus PESEL; tourists pay the full retail price unless covered by an EHIC card. Refund categories are published by the regulator at https://www.urpl.gov.pl.
Emergencies & out-of-hours care
At least one Bialogard pharmacy operates a duty rota (dyżur nocny) covering nights, Sundays and public holidays — the current schedule is posted in every pharmacy window and on the Starostwo Powiatowe website. For acute medical emergencies the receiving facility is Szpital Powiatowy on ulica Szpitalna, which runs the 24-hour Szpitalny Oddział Ratunkowy. Dial 112 for any life-threatening situation, or 999 for ambulance only. Non-urgent overnight medical advice is available through the Nocna i Świąteczna Opieka Zdrowotna service contracted by the NFZ at the same hospital site.
