pharmacy discount(s)
Explanation:
The site below is all about "benefício farmácia" which is basically being able to buy in the pharmacy (or chemists) at a discount. Normally companys make a "convênio" with a shop or chain of shops which gives employees a right to discount, and often to have their purchases discounted from the next payroll.

neutral  Muriel Vasconcellos: This must be UK English. I've never heard the expression, and to me, it doesn't make clear where or how the discount is taken. The focus should be on the benefit plan, not how it's paid for at the counter.

  -> Thank you, Muriel! In Brazil, it means getting a discount on all purchases in the pharmacy. Brazilians spend a lot in pharmacies.

prescription drug benefits


Explanation:
'Discounts' doesn't make it clear that it's a benefit plan that covers prescription drugs. It also doesn't make it clear where the discount is taken.
