Druggists are pharmacists—people who prepare and dispense medications.
The term is somewhat old-fashioned in American English, where pharmacist now dominates, but remains common in certain contexts: the local druggist, druggist's hours.
A druggist's shop was once called a drugstore, a term that persists even as the occupation's name has shifted.
