pharmacies
Where prescriptions go
Pharmacies is the plural of pharmacy, a place where medicinal drugs are prepared and sold.
In the U.S., pharmacies are typically found within larger retail stores or as standalone drugstores, while in the U.K. they're often called chemists.
Beyond dispensing prescriptions, pharmacies stock over-the-counter medications, health supplies, and often provide basic health services like vaccinations.
I need to stop by the pharmacy to pick up my prescription.
