drugstores

Medicine-selling shops

Drugstores are retail stores that sell prescription medications, over-the-counter remedies, and personal care products.

In American usage, drugstores typically also stock convenience items, cosmetics, and household goods—functioning as general stores anchored by a pharmacy counter.

The British equivalent is chemist or chemist's shop.
