| pharmacien d\'officine druggist at the pharmacy/drug counter/prescription drugs counter Explanation: NOT dispensary: "Sounds like a Britishism to me...Anyway, here at home, it is usually the pharmacy, the pharmacy counter, the drug counter or the prescription drugs counter." Dixit my mother, a faithful prescription drugs user in NY. Am waiting for answers from the West Coast. The person is a druggist, pharmacist, or dispensing pharmacist (but not to the man in the street). HTH Gabrielle -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 days4 hrs (2009-08-22 20:16:23 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sister in California says no to dispensary instead of the pharmacy/drug prescription counter. Stedman's: Dispensary = 1) physician's office, especially of one who dispenses medicines; 2) office of a hospital pharmacist, where medicines are given out...3) An outpatient department of a hospital. So, to answer Rosemary's question, "dispensary" is not US usage in the case of the retail pharmacy. "Yes" if you are talking about the hospital pharmacist's dispensary. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 days (2009-08-24 20:25:58 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In CVS (a big US drugstore chain), the sign over the counter says "pharmacy" or "pharmacy counter" - dixit other US born-and-bred source. So, to answer your question, "dispensary" is not synonmous with "retail pharmacy" in the US. Does this help? |
