chemist's shop

Prescription filling location

A chemist's shop is a British term for a pharmacy or drugstore—a retail establishment where prescriptions are filled and medicines, toiletries, and health products are sold.

The pharmacist who works there is called a chemist: I need to pop into the chemist's shop for some paracetamol.

Often shortened to simply the chemist's or the chemist.
