drug stores

Pharmacy retail outlets

Drug stores are retail shops that sell prescription medications, over-the-counter remedies, and health-related products.

American drug stores typically stock much more than pharmaceuticals—cosmetics, snacks, greeting cards, household items.

The pharmacist works at the back; everything else fills the aisles.

British English prefers chemist or pharmacy.

I need to stop by the drug store for some aspirin.
