Introduction to the Szentgotthárd Pharmacy
In the heart of Szentgotthárd, on Széll Kálmán Square, stands the historic Szent István Pharmacy, which has been serving the population's healthcare needs for more than 190 years. Thanks to its central location, the institution is easily accessible not only to local residents but also to those from surrounding settlements. The pharmacy's history dates back to 1826, when pharmacist Antal Wechsler founded it. Over the centuries, several renowned pharmacist families, including the Kolossa and Vargyassy families, led the institution. In 1908, Jakab Friedrich purchased the building, and his son, Ödön Friedrich, continued the pharmaceutical profession until nationalization. Following the regime change, in 1989 the pharmacy regained its ownership rights, and it has since remained one of the pillars of the local healthcare system.
Comprehensive healthcare services
In line with modern expectations, the community pharmacy offers patients a wide range of products and services. Qualified pharmacists provide high-quality counseling, helping with the correct and safe use of medications, as well as providing information on potential side effects. In addition to prescription-only preparations, the shelves also hold a wide selection of over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, dietary supplements, and other medical devices. With a focus on health preservation, the pharmacy also offers simple screenings, such as blood pressure measurement, blood sugar level checks, or weight measurement. Furthermore, professional assistance is provided with medication dosing, which can be of great help in everyday life, especially for elderly patients or those suffering from chronic illnesses.
Environmental awareness and accessibility
The pharmacy is also committed to environmental protection, and therefore ensures the professional collection and safe disposal of expired or unwanted pharmaceutical waste. The pharmacy's opening hours are tailored to customers' needs: on weekdays from 8 AM to 6 PM, and on Saturdays from 8 AM to 2 PM, thus ensuring flexible access. Its easy accessibility and the combination of professional heritage and modern pharmacy services make this pharmacy a reliable healthcare partner for the local community. The dedicated staff strives to provide the highest level of care for all age groups, contributing to the preservation and restoration of patients' health.
