Chemist’s shop

The chemist's shop is one of the medical institutions. All medicines are ordered or bought at a chemist's shop. The state large chemist's shops as a rule have two departments. They are the hand department and prescription one. The medicines are kept in drug cabinets. It is important to store all medicines properly, because heat or moisture may cause the medicine to break down. At the chemist's shop we can buy tablets (lozenges), capsules, ointments, drops, syrups, suppositories, powders, topical solutions, creams, gels, and drugs for intramuscular and intravenous injections.

If you use an over-the-counter (non-prescription) medicine, follow the directions on the label. Every medicine has instruction for using where the indications, contraindications, dosage, side effects, expiration date and others are indicated.

Before a patient leaves the chemist's shop with a medicine, the pharmacist must be certain that he/she has the right medication, correct dose, and directions for use. The pharmacist also has to provide information about how the drug works and side effects and ensure that there are no contraindications to the medicine and no harmful drug-drug, drug-food, or drug-disease interactions. The pharmacist is usually the last healthcare professional to have contact with patients before they receive their medicines. He/She is the final step in a system of checks and balances designed to ensure that medicines are used safely and effectively. So, before you use any medicine, the pharmacist and the doctor have to know:

  • if you have ever had an allergic or unusual reaction to any medicine, food, or other substances;

  • if you are on a low-salt, low-sugar, or any other special diet;

  • if you are pregnant or if you plan to become pregnant. Certain medicines may cause birth defects or other problems in the unborn child. The use of any medicine during pregnancy must be carefully considered;

  • if you are breast feeding. Some medicines may pass into the breast milk and cause unwanted effects in the baby;

  • if you have any medical problems;

  • if you are now taking or have taken any medicines in the past few weeks. Don’t forget over-the-counter (non-prescription) medicines such as aspirin, laxatives, and antacids.
