Find a pharmacy in Drezdenko
Drezdenko is a small town of roughly 10,000 residents in Lubusz Voivodeship, sitting on the Noteć River about midway between Gorzów Wielkopolski and Piła. PillsCard verifies five pharmacies serving the town and surrounding gmina, which together cover a catchment of around 17,000 people including villages such as Trzebicz, Niegosław and Goszczanowo. The customer base is overwhelmingly local — older residents managing chronic prescriptions, families filling paediatric scripts, and seasonal visitors who travel the Drawa and Noteć waterways during summer. Unlike larger Polish cities, there is no medical-tourism trade here; pharmacies cluster tightly around the market square (Rynek) and along ulica Kościuszki, with a smaller cohort attached to the Powiatowe Centrum Zdrowia hospital campus serving outpatient and discharge prescriptions.
The market is fragmented between independents and one national chain. ESKULAP and ASKLEPIOS operate as classical independent apteki near the town centre, both maintaining the traditional Polish counter-service model with a pharmacist present for every transaction. DOZ Apteka. Dbam o Zdrowie. MILLENIUM represents the national footprint — DOZ is Poland's largest chain and the only multi-branch operator with a presence in Drezdenko, generally undercutting independents on OTC pricing. The pharmacy operated by "Powiatowe Centrum Zdrowia" Spółka z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością sits on the hospital grounds and primarily dispenses discharge medication and refills for chronic outpatient clinics. CENTRUM ZDROWIA rounds out the landscape as a community pharmacy oriented toward family medicine referrals from nearby GP practices.
Pricing & coverage
For NFZ-insured patients, refundowane (reimbursed) prescription drugs follow national tariffs: most chronic medications cost between 3.20 PLN (ryczałt flat fee) and 30 PLN per pack, with seniors aged 75+ receiving many essential drugs free under the 75+ programme. Out-of-pocket OTC items — paracetamol 500 mg (20 tabs) typically 6–10 PLN, ibuprofen 400 mg (20 tabs) 9–14 PLN, a basic blood-pressure check 0 PLN at participating pharmacies. Vaccination services (flu, COVID-19) run 35–60 PLN administration fee on top of the drug cost. Reimbursement categories and the official drug register are maintained by URPL; current refund lists are published by the Ministry of Health every two months.
Emergencies & out-of-hours care
Drezdenko does not maintain a 24-hour pharmacy. Out-of-hours dispensing follows the powiat strzelecko-drezdenecki duty rota (dyżur apteczny) set by the county council, with one pharmacy rotating evening and weekend cover — schedules are posted on each shopfront and at the Urząd Miejski. For genuine medical emergencies dial 112; the nearest hospital A&E (SOR) is at Wielospecjalistyczny Szpital Wojewódzki in Gorzów Wielkopolski, roughly 50 km west. Non-urgent after-hours care is handled by Nocna i Świąteczna Opieka Zdrowotna at the local Powiatowe Centrum Zdrowia in Drezdenko.
