Pears Health Cyber

What Pears Health Cyber does

Pears Health Cyber, s.r.o. is a Czech private limited company founded in 1999 that operates the historically first and largest online pharmacy in the Czech Republic. Through its brands Lékárna.cz (Czech market), MojaLekáreň.sk (Slovak market), and the physical Lékárna Prima Chrudim pharmacy, the company serves approximately 1.2 million customers with health products, medical devices, pharmacist consultations, and ancillary health services. It is headquartered in Prague 8 – Libeň with 110 employees, including 14 online pharmacists who provide personalized advice via phone, email, and in-person channels.

The core platform is an e-commerce pharmacy storefront with built-in electronic prescription (e-poukaz) processing, which became mandatory in Czech pharmacies on January 1, 2026, and which Pears Health Cyber productized online in January 2026. Adjacent service offerings include laboratory result interpretation (launched December 2025), online pharmacist consultations, and the annual 'Zdraví pod lupou' health research produced with QED Group and Confess Research. The company maintains a philanthropy program ('Vzácní vzácným') supporting patients with rare diagnoses, and is led by director Karel Klodner with founder Vladimír Finsterle recognized as EY Entrepreneur of the Year for the Pardubice Region in 2020.

The business model is primarily direct-to-consumer e-commerce of pharmacy products, supplemented by professional pharmacist advisory services and recurring health research outputs used for content marketing, media engagement, and policy positioning. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; no funding rounds, parent company, or external investor ownership have been signaled, suggesting founder/management ownership under Czech s.r.o. structure. Distribution combines owned e-commerce storefronts, a single physical pharmacy, and a network of long-tenured vendor and B2B partners including Mailkit, VShosting, SPOTIBO, Yieildigo, and Benefit Plus.

Core offering

Pears Health Cyber operates online pharmacies (Lékárna.cz in the Czech Republic and MojaLekáreň.sk in Slovakia) that sell health products, medical devices, and pharmaceutical goods directly to consumers. The platforms integrate electronic prescription processing, online consultations with licensed pharmacists, laboratory result interpretation, and complementary health and data services. A physical pharmacy (Lékárna Prima Chrudim) supports the retail operations in the Czech Republic.

Product overview

Pears Health Cyber operates a multi-brand e-pharmacy platform spanning Czech and Slovak markets. The core offering consists of three pharmacy brands: Lekarna.cz (the historically first and largest Czech e-pharmacy), MojaLekaren.sk (serving Slovak customers), and Lékárna Prima Chrudim (a physical pharmacy bridging traditional and modern pharmacy). Additional services include online medical device ordering via electronic prescriptions (Zdravotnické pomůcky online), laboratory results interpretation services, and 24/7 online pharmacist consultations. The company also runs a philanthropic program (Vzácní vzácným) supporting patients with rare diseases.

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• Rohlik.cz (Rohlik Group): Leading Central European online grocery/retail platform with adjacent health and wellness assortment. Comparable as a same-market digital consumer brand exploring health-category expansion.

Broad incumbents

• DocMorris: Pan-European online pharmacy leader (formerly Zur Rose) operating across multiple EU markets. Comparable as a benchmark for online-pharmacy scale, recurring prescription delivery, and telehealth add-ons.
• Dr.Max: Largest pharmacy chain in Czech Republic and Slovakia with a growing online storefront. Comparable because it combines physical retail scale with e-commerce in the same OTC/prescription categories Pears competes in.
• Shop Apotheke: Germany-headquartered online pharmacy with cross-border expansion into several European markets. Comparable as a benchmark for inventory-led e-pharmacy operations and growth investment patterns.
• Benu Lékárna: Major Czech and Slovak pharmacy retail chain (Penta Investments) with an online channel. Competes with Pears on the same SKU set and pharmacist-counseling promise, but anchored by a much larger physical footprint.

Direct peers

• Pilulka: Czech-founded online pharmacy operating across CZ and SK with very similar DTC e-pharmacy model and product breadth. Most directly comparable competitor, often cited as the #2 to Lékárna.cz in the domestic market.
• Apoteket: Swedish online pharmacy with national coverage and pharmacist-driven service offerings. Comparable as a Nordic counterpart illustrating e-pharmacy operating model and pharmacist-led consultation experience.
• Pharmacy2U: UK online pharmacy with NHS-aligned prescription delivery and pharmacist consultations. Comparable as a DTC e-pharmacy model with integrated pharmacist advisory services.

Emerging players

• Alza.cz: Largest Czech e-commerce platform, expanding into health, OTC, and pharmacy-adjacent categories. Comparable as a same-market digital retail player that could pressure Pears on logistics, assortment, and customer acquisition in health.

Regional players

• Lékárna AGEL: Pharmacy chain tied to the AGEL healthcare group in Czechia/Slovakia with a developing online presence. Comparable as a regional incumbent pairing brick-and-mortar pharmacies with digital sales.
