What Is in a Pharmacy?
Pharmacies primarily stock and sell drugs, many of which require a prescription from a doctor. Orders for prescription drugs are filled by pharmacists, who are knowledgeable about the various drugs and their possible interactions and are qualified to sell pharmaceuticals.
Many drugs are also available in pharmacies without a prescription. Pharmacies stock painkillers and allergy medicines, for example, as popular products. It is possible to consult a pharmacist at the pharmacy about possible health issues with nonprescription drugs, and possible interactions with other medications, whether they are prescription or nonprescription.
