retail pharmacies

Consumer prescription outlets

Retail pharmacies are drugstores that dispense prescription medications directly to consumers, as opposed to hospital pharmacies or mail-order services.

The term encompasses chain pharmacies like CVS and Walgreens, independent neighborhood drugstores, and pharmacy departments within grocery stores and big-box retailers: Retail pharmacies saw increased foot traffic during flu season.
