What is Pharmacy?
A pharmacy is a place that is licensed to practice the profession of pharmacy and where prescriptions are administered, distributed, and/or sold. In total, there are about 12 different types of pharmacies. A community pharmacy like CVS or Walgreens is a store that is operated by pharmacists who are educated and licensed to dispense prescription (dangerous) drugs. Pharmacies are not places where patients are allowed to receive emergency care nor are they allowed to house medical equipment.
Hospitals typically have an inpatient pharmacy that administers drugs to patients while at the hospital. Before leaving a hospital or care center, a doctor prescribes a prescription to a patient, which is authorized on a note or document which they can take to any pharmacy to obtain their medication. However, not all pharmacies charge the same price for prescription drugs, therefore it’s always best to ask your doctor for guidance as to where prescriptions can be best obtained.
