A '''pharmacy''' is a store that sells prescription [[drugs]]. In the U.S pharmacies are commonly called drugstores. The word ''pharmacy'' derives fromthe Greek pharmakeia, via the Old French farmacie, and Medieval Latin pharmacia, which means "use of drugs or medicines". This word derives from pharmakeus "preparer of drugs," which refers topharmakon "drug, poison, philter, charm, spell, enchantment."
