drugstore

A drugstore is a store that sells medicines and other health-related products.

You probably know what I mean by a pharmacy or a chemist's shop, but those words are more commonly used in some parts of the world. In many places, especially in America, it's just called a drugstore. These stores usually have a lot on offer: over-the-counter medicines, prescription drugs (if you've got a doctor's note), health supplements, cosmetics, and even snacks or food for people on-the-go. You can grab some Band-Aids to cover up cuts, aspirin for a headache, or sunscreen for your next outdoor adventure. Some drugstores also have a photo lab where you can develop pictures, a coffee shop inside, or even a pharmacy counter where you can get advice from a pharmacist about what medicines are best for you. So it's not just a place to buy medicine – it's more like a convenience store for people who want to stay healthy and take care of themselves!
