It is important to know that in Bansko there is a special <strong>duty schedule<\/strong>, which ensures that in case of emergency there is always at least one pharmacy available or &quot;on call&quot; at night.<\/p>\n<p>On weekdays, after the end of standard business hours (usually between 8:00 PM and 9:00 PM), most retail outlets close. However, according to a pre-established schedule, one pharmacy remains on duty. The same principle of rotation applies during the weekend.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #fdf2f2; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin: 20px 0; color: #1a1a1a;\"><strong style=\"display: block; font-size: 1.1em; margin-bottom: 10px;\">\u26a0\ufe0f Attention: How to find the pharmacy on duty?<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you need medication outside of business hours, go to the nearest pharmacy. A paper list with the current schedule is necessarily posted in the window or entrance door of each facility. There you will see which pharmacy is on duty on a particular night and how to contact the pharmacist.<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"color: #2c3e50; border-bottom: 2px solid #eee; padding-bottom: 10px;\">Pharmacies in the city of Razlog<\/h2>\n<p>The town of Razlog is the administrative center of the region and is home to a large part of the more serious health services, including the Dr. Asen Velev Hospital.

Medicines such as antibiotics and specific therapies are sold <strong>strictly with a green or electronic prescription<\/strong>, prescribed by a licensed physician in Bulgaria. Painkillers, vitamins, flu remedies and sanitary materials are sold freely without a prescription.<\/p>\n<p>EU citizens can use their European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) for certain emergency medical services in public hospitals, but private pharmacies usually charge full price for medicines. It is highly recommended to have travel insurance.<\/p>\n<p>If the situation cannot be postponed, you cannot find a pharmacy on duty at night, and your condition is serious, immediately contact <strong>Emergency Medical Care Branch in Bansko<\/strong> (located next to the polyclinic) or call <strong>phone 112<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center; margin-top: 40px; margin-bottom: 20px;\">\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; font-size: 1.1em;\">Explore all the properties, locations and details in our interactive directory:<\/p>\n<p><a style=\"color: #ffffff !important; text-decoration: none; padding: 10px 20px; background: #e67e22; display: inline-block; border-radius: 5px; font-weight: bold;\" href=\"https:\/\/vbansko.com\/en\/lc\/beauty-and-spa\/healthy\/pharmacies-and-drugstores\/\">OPEN THE INTERACTIVE MAP OF BANSKO<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0417\u0434\u0440\u0430\u0432\u0435\u0442\u043e \u0438 \u0431\u0435\u0437\u043e\u043f\u0430\u0441\u043d\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0442\u0430 \u0441\u0430 \u043f\u0440\u0438\u043e\u0440\u0438\u0442\u0435\u0442 \u043f\u043e \u0432\u0440\u0435\u043c\u0435 \u043d\u0430 \u0432\u0441\u044f\u043a\u0430 \u043f\u043e\u0447\u0438\u0432\u043a\u0430 \u0438\u043b\u0438 \u043f\u0440\u0435\u0441\u0442\u043e\u0439 \u0432 \u043f\u043b\u0430\u043d\u0438\u043d\u0430\u0442\u0430. \u0410\u043f\u0442\u0435\u043a\u0438\u0442\u0435 \u0441\u0430 \u0436\u0438\u0437\u043d\u0435\u043d\u043e\u0432\u0430\u0436\u043d\u0430 \u0447\u0430\u0441\u0442 \u043e\u0442 \u0437\u0434\u0440\u0430\u0432\u043d\u0430\u0442\u0430 \u0433\u0440\u0438\u0436\u0430 \u0432 \u0411\u0430\u043d\u0441\u043a\u043e \u0438 \u0420\u0430\u0437\u043b\u043e\u0433. \u041d\u0435\u0437\u0430\u0432\u0438\u0441\u0438\u043c\u043e \u0434\u0430\u043b\u0438 \u0441\u0442\u0435 \u0442\u0443\u043a \u0437\u0430 [&hellip;]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":34045,"parent":33723,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"template-page-full-width.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-34042","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"cubewp_post_meta":[],"taxonomies":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vbansko.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/34042","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vbansko.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vbansko.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vbansko.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vbansko.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34042"}],"version-history":[{"count":19,"href":"https:\/\/vbansko.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/34042\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":43441,"href":"https:\/\/vbansko.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/34042\/revisions\/43441"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vbansko.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/33723"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vbansko.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34045"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vbansko.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34042"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
