Find a pharmacy in Gora
Góra is a small county seat in Lower Silesia, north-west of Wrocław, with a population of roughly 12,000 in the town itself and around 35,000 across the wider powiat. PillsCard lists five verified pharmacies serving this catchment, which is modest but proportionate: most residents combine routine pharmacy visits with errands in the town centre, while patients from outlying villages such as Czernina, Witoszyce and Ślubów rely on Góra for prescriptions that local village outlets cannot fill. There is no medical-tourism flow here and no significant expat community; the customer base is overwhelmingly local — older residents managing chronic prescriptions under NFZ, families with school-age children, and seasonal agricultural workers during the sugar-beet and rapeseed harvests on the surrounding Silesian plain.
The market is fragmented and independently owned rather than chain-dominated, which is typical of Polish county towns of this size. Apteka Eliksir and its sister branding ELIKSIR anchor the central trade around ulica Piłsudskiego and the market square, while Apteka "Lawendowa" and Apteka "Zdrowie" cover residential streets closer to the hospital and the Hirszfeld housing estates. Aspirynka rounds out the picture as a smaller neighbourhood outlet. None of the national chains — DOZ, Gemini, Ziko, Dr.Max — operate a visible flagship here, so pricing on non-reimbursed items reflects independent margins. Most pharmacies maintain informal ties with GPs at the Powiatowe Centrum Zdrowia on ulica Armii Polskiej, the town's main hospital, which simplifies prescription clarifications.
Pricing & coverage
Out-of-pocket prices in Góra track the national independent-pharmacy average. A standard antibiotic course (amoxicillin 1g, 14 tablets) typically costs 15–25 PLN on prescription, or 8–12 PLN if reimbursed at the 30% NFZ tier. A month's supply of metformin runs 6–15 PLN reimbursed, statins 10–30 PLN. Over-the-counter ibuprofen 400mg (20 tabs) is usually 8–14 PLN. NFZ reimbursement applies only to drugs on the official refundacja list with a valid e-prescription from an NFZ-contracted prescriber; pensioners over 75 receive selected medicines free under the "Leki 75+" programme. Reimbursement categories and the current drug register are published by URPL.
Emergencies & out-of-hours care
Góra operates a duty-pharmacy rota (dyżur apteczny) coordinated by the powiat council, with one pharmacy designated for night and holiday cover on a rolling schedule posted at each shop window and on the Starostwo Powiatowe website. For acute medical emergencies, the Szpitalny Oddział Ratunkowy at the Powiatowe Centrum Zdrowia on ulica Armii Polskiej is the local A&E; more complex cases are transferred to Wrocław, roughly 70 km south. Call 112 for ambulance dispatch or any life-threatening situation. Non-urgent after-hours care (NiŚOCh) is handled by the same hospital's evening clinic on weekdays after 18:00 and around the clock at weekends.
