Pharmacy is a specialized shop, where medicines and items for medical care are sold. There are usually two departments for selling drugs (prescription department and chemist’s department) and proper working rooms. At the prescription department medicines are sold or made up according to the prescriptions. At the chemist’s department medicines may be bought without prescriptions. Furthermore there are many different things for medical care and medicinal plants. The working rooms of a pharmacy include rooms for washing, drying and sterilization of glassware, an analytical laboratory, special rooms for storing medicines, dispensing them and some other production facilities.

At the pharmacy medicines are kept in drug cabinets, on the open shelves and in the refrigerator. Strong effective and poisonous drugs are kept in the special drug cabinets. The drugs prepared at the pharmacy for the immediate use should be stored in the refrigerator. Powders, galenical preparations, and medicines produced from the pharmaceutical plants are usually held on the shelves protected from light at a constant temperature, not higher than a room temperature.

Every bottle or box with a medicine has the special label or signature with the drug’s name, dosage, directions for administration of a drug, manufacturer, and expiration date. It’s very important for sick people as well as for those who take care for them to learn all information before using the particular medicine.

There are various kinds of medicines: boxes and parcels of different powders, ampoules for intramuscular and intravenous injections, tubes of ointments for rubbing, different pills and tablets for internal use etc. As usual all medicines are arranged in the pharmacy’s glass cases according to their therapeutic effects: drugs for cough, cardiac medicines, pain or fever relievers and so on. Herbs, things for medical care (hot-water bottles, medicine drippers, cups, thermometers, bandages etc), and some goods which are not connected with medicines (cosmetics, shampoos, tooth pastes and others) are put separately. To protect customers, all medicines must be tested and officially authorized to make sure that they are safe and produced to a quality standard.

Pharmacists are experts in medicines and can help their customers to make the right choices. They are highly trained in all aspects of medicines and their professional code ensures that any information the customers share remains confidential. Any pharmacist can supply medicines for a range of problems and can advise the buyers about the best way of treating problems such as coughs and colds, sprains and bruises, skin problems and others. The pharmacist can work out how best to choose and to take the medicine so that it fits in with customer’s daily routine.
