Centar Pula is a public pharmacy in the centre of Pula, part of the Istarske ljekarne network. Whether you live in the area or are visiting Istria, this is a practical place to get medicines and pharmacy advice when you need them.
Opening hours: the pharmacy is open daily from 07:00 to 20:00. Outside those hours, a night on-call service (dežurna ljekarna) runs from 20:00 to 07:00. If you are unsure whether your visit falls under regular or on-call hours, calling ahead can save time.
You can expect standard pharmacy services: prescription medicines, over-the-counter products, and guidance from qualified staff. For travel-related needs — a forgotten prescription, a minor illness, or basic health products — the team can usually point you in the right direction.

FAQ block
Do I need to pay for antibiotics with EU insurance and a Croatian prescription?
Antibiotics may be partially or fully covered by EU insurance with a valid Croatian prescription. Depending on the medication, a co-payment may still apply.
Is there a pharmacy open during the night in Pula?
Yes. Besides the normal daytime opening hours, an on-call night pharmacy service is available during the evening and overnight hours for urgent medication needs.
What does an on-call night pharmacy mean?
An on-call night pharmacy means the pharmacy provides emergency service outside normal opening hours during the night. In Croatia, this usually works through a duty system (deu017eurstvo). Before visiting at night, it is recommended to call the pharmacy first to confirm availability and instructions. In some cases, the entrance may remain closed and the pharmacist will assist patients through a night service window or after contact by phone. This service is intended mainly for urgent medication needs when regular pharmacies are closed.
Which languages are spoken at the pharmacy?
The pharmacy staff speak Croatian and English. Depending on the staff member on duty, some employees may also speak additional languages commonly used in Istria, such as German or Italian.
