Apotheek Pegasus

What Apotheek Pegasus does

Apotheek Pegasus is a private community pharmacy based in Nijmegen, Netherlands, operating as an affiliated member of the Netwerk Apotheken network, a Dutch alliance of 134 independent community pharmacies coordinated by ApotheekCoach B.V. The pharmacy serves local residents of the Hengstdal district and surrounding areas, dispensing prescription and over-the-counter medications, providing pharmaceutical care consultations, and supplying medical devices and travel health services. It is co-located in a shared medical center at Dommer van Poldersveldtweg 27A with three general practitioners (Meyerink, Herberts, van Dam), enabling tight coordination on prescription management and medication reviews. The pharmacy was originally founded in 1938 as Apotheek van der Ploeg and relocated and rebranded to Pegasus Apotheek in 2012.

The pharmacy operates a multi-channel distribution model: walk-in counter service during standard weekday hours (08:00–17:30), a 24/7 automated medicine dispenser (Medicijnautomaat), home delivery with same-day emergency service, telephone repeat prescription ordering, and digital channels including the MijnGezondheid.net online portal and MedGemak mobile app, both authenticated via the Dutch national DigiD identity system. The technology stack is conventional healthcare-IT rather than proprietary; the pharmacy leverages network-provided infrastructure. It holds TÜV NORD certification, is registered as a certified training company (gecertificeerd opleidingsbedrijf), and is staffed by two BIG-registered pharmacists, Marloes Lucas and Pascalle Kho, supported by a team of 11 employees overall. Additional services include automatic repeat prescription management, medication blister rolls (Medicijnrol), adherence support, shortage management, multilingual patient communications (Dutch, English, German, Turkish, Ukrainian), and integration with the Dienstapotheek Nijmegen for after-hours emergencies.

Revenue is generated primarily through prescription dispensing and pharmaceutical care services billed under the Dutch national health insurance system (basisverzekering), with some co-payments (bijbetaling) for non-preferred brands outside the insurer's preferentiebeleid. Secondary revenue streams include over-the-counter self-care products, medical aids and devices, and home delivery. The pricing model is subscription-like in that billing is recurring via monthly insurance reconciliation, but per-transaction economically. The pharmacy is not VC- or PE-backed, operates as a private self-sustaining healthcare practice, and does not publicly disclose revenue figures. Geographic scope is single-country (Netherlands) and effectively single-city (Nijmegen), with service concentration in the Hengstdal district.

Broad incumbents

Emerging players

Regional players

• Dienstapotheek Nijmegen: Dienstapotheek Nijmegen is the regional after-hours on-call pharmacy already partnered with Pegasus for out-of-hours coverage in Nijmegen; it offers the same dispensing services on a different operating window and is a closely adjacent regional peer.
