This article is a follow-up study, which appeared in the previous issue of Annales Universitatis concerning Bełżyce pharmacy history after World War II.

On November 6, 1946, the Court in Lublin established Rachel Lerner, the sister of Anschel Lerner, (who was running the pharmacy in Bełżyce since 1932, and died during the Second World War), as the owner of the pharmacy, recognizing her as the sole and exclusive heir to property. The sisters Maria Szubertowska and Helena Olszewska bought the pharmacy from her,. For a year and a half Dr. Zofia Kalinowska was a tenant of the pharmacy, who also co-founded Faculty of Pharmacy at the University of Marcia Curie Skłowdowska in Lublin (UMCS). In the years 1945-1951 Wiesława Lipart coming from Lwów, worked in the pharmacy. On January 8, 1951 the pharmacy in Bełżyce was taken over by the Pharmacy Enterprise of Lublin. Since 26 July, 1962 MPharm Leokadia Król was  the pharmacy manager. In the same year the pharmacy was moved to new premises at the Health Centre at the Bednarska Street. Here the pharmacy is still located. The Pharmacy employees have been engaged in national-liberation, social and scientific activities.
