Find a pharmacy in Kozienice
Kozienice is a district town of roughly 17,000 residents in Mazowieckie Voivodeship, sitting between the Vistula and the Kozienicka Forest about 100 kilometres south of Warsaw. PillsCard lists 9 verified pharmacies serving the town itself and the wider powiat kozienicki, whose population swells with workers from the Enea Połaniec-linked power plant complex and seasonal visitors to the forest reserves. Outlets cluster along ul. Warszawska, ul. Radomska and the streets ringing the Rynek, with one hospital pharmacy attached to Samodzielny Publiczny Zespół Zakładów Opieki Zdrowotnej on ul. Al. Wł. Sikorskiego. Unlike larger Mazovian cities, Kozienice has no dense medical-tourism flow; pharmacies primarily serve local residents, commuters from outlying villages, and patients discharged from the district hospital.
The local landscape is a mix of independent apteki and national chains. The hospital-based Apteka szpitalna handles inpatient dispensing and chemotherapy preparation for SPZZOZ Kozienice, while neighbourhood independents trading simply as Apteka cover routine prescriptions across the older estates near the Rynek and along ul. Lubelska. National franchises have a clear footprint: GEMINI operates a high-street outlet stocking a broad OTC and cosmetics range, PLUS competes on generics and NFZ-reimbursed lines, and APTEKA CODZIENNA leans on extended weekday hours for working commuters. MULTILEK rounds out the chain presence with a focus on prescription fulfilment and patient counselling. The market is fragmented rather than chain-dominated, with no single brand holding majority share — typical for a powiat seat of this size.
Pricing & coverage
Prescription items dispensed under NFZ are subject to the national reimbursement list (lista leków refundowanych) published by the Ministry of Health and overseen by URPL; patient co-payments commonly fall between 3.20 PLN and 30 PLN per pack, with seniors over 65 eligible for the "75+" free-drug programme. Out-of-pocket OTC analgesics such as ibuprofen 200 mg (20 tabs) typically run 7–14 PLN, a basic blood-pressure measurement at the counter is usually free or 5–10 PLN, and a private flu vaccination administered in-pharmacy ranges 45–80 PLN. Compounded prescriptions (leki recepturowe) carry a fixed statutory fee under NFZ rules.
Emergencies & out-of-hours care
Out-of-hours pharmacy duty in Kozienice powiat follows the rota set by the Rada Powiatu, with one apteka dyżurna covering nights, Sundays and public holidays — the current schedule is published on the powiat website and posted in pharmacy windows. For acute medical emergencies, the SOR (Szpitalny Oddział Ratunkowy) at SPZZOZ Kozienice on Al. Wł. Sikorskiego handles 24-hour admissions; nocturnal and weekend primary care (NiŚOCh) operates from the same site. Call 112 for any life-threatening situation, or 999 directly for ambulance dispatch.
