Pharmacies
Pharmacies on duty (off-hour openings):
In Austria, pharmacies are obligated by law to participate in so-called "nightshifts", they are then referred to as "Notfallapotheke" or Nachtapotheke".
There is a complex system in place which distributes these shifts amongst the pharmacies, ensuring that there is always an open pharmacy nearby 24/7. This entails that the pharmacy on duty on one day very likely isn't the same one on duty a couple of days afterwards, meaning it is necessary to always check which pharmacy is open before heading out.
All pharmacies usually provide the information about the nearest "Nachtapotheke" by putting a poster on their closed doors, or you could use the search engine on www.apothekenindex.at. If you use a pharmacy out of normal office hours, you will be charged a one-off fee per visit (not per bought item), which is 3,80 € for nighttime visits (between 8:00 – 20:00) and 1,30€ for daytime visits on weekends and public holidays (between 8.00 – 20.00).
