Synonym of pharmacy, especially a small standalone general store which includes a pharmacy.
In past recessions, drugstores were virtually immune from a turndown. […] If a patient comes into a pharmacy and has a prescription for an injectable or infused product, we’ll be able to take that prescription, scan it in and send the injectable to the patient’s home or a drugstore or refer them to one of our home infusion facilities for therapy.
