Why it matters
There is no 24-hour pharmacy in Pleven. Phoenix is one of the two that stay open latest, right in the centre on Danail Popov — worth saving in your phone before you need it at 22:30 with a fever.
For anything after midnight, your option is the hospital emergency department — see the Emergency page.
Good to know
- Many medicines that need a prescription elsewhere are available over the counter here — but ask the pharmacist rather than self-prescribing.
- Pharmacists often speak some English; showing the medicine name or a photo of the box works well.
- Pharmacy signs are green crosses, labelled АПТЕКА (apteka).
