Description of a Pharmacy

The pharmaceutical service in our country is an unseparable part of the health protection. You can’t successfully treat people without highly effective medical aids.

The pharmacy has a hall, the single place people may come in; a special room for keeping drugs; an assistants’ room where medicines are prepared and a room for the first medical aid.

In the hall you can see special glass stalls and shelvings with different drugs. The people may choose here any drug they need. On the stalls and shelvings you can find all kinds of sedatives, vitamins and bandages. Here there are pills, powders, bottles of drops and mixtures, tablets, ointments, syringes, needles, thermometers, hot water bottles, medicine droppers and other things necessary for the medical care. In this department you can buy the implements for personal hygiene and even perfumery. The chemists will give you anything you need without prescription. This is the Chemist’s department.

In the hall there is a special department – Prescriptions – where a patient can order his prescriptions and have his medicine made up. A glass partition separates you from the pharmacist. Through a small window in this partition you hand in your prescription to the pharmacist and she gives you a medicine immediately if they have this medicine prepared or she appoints a special time to come for the drug. There are two drug cabinets in this department. In the drug cabinet, marked with a big letter A, poisonous drugs are kept. In the drug cabinet, marked with a big letter B, all strong-effective drugs are kept.
