At a chemist’s

Chemist’s shops are specialized shops where medicines and medical items are sold. There are two departments in a chemist’s shop: a chemist’s department and a prescription department. At a chemist’s department you can buy ready-made drugs such as tablets, ampoules, pills, vitamins, etc. Disinfectants, herbs and various pharmaceutical goods can also be found in a chemist’s department.

In the prescription department you can see drugs of all kinds: boxes of different powders, ampoules of glucose and camphor used for intramuscular and intravenous injections; tubes of ointments for rubbing: different pills and tablets for internal use; tonics and sedatives administered orally. Lots of drugs have to be ordered at a prescription department.

The pharmaceutist takes the prescription, checks up the dosage, calculates the cost and hands the prescription over to an assistant’s room, where assistants make drugs in the accordance with the prescription.

All medicines are kept in drug cabinets, on the shelves and in the refrigerator. Poisonous (toxic) drugs are kept in the drug cabinet with the letter <A>.Strong effective drugs are kept in the drug cabinet having the letter <B>.

Every small bottle or box has a label with the name of the medicine stuck on it. The single dose and the total dosage are indicated on the label or the signature. The directions for the administrations of a drug are very important for patients.
