Pharmacy is the science and technique of preparing and dispensing drugs. It is a health profession that links health sciences with chemical sciences and aims to ensure the safe and effective use of pharmaceutical drugs. Since about the year 2000, a growing number of Internet
pharmacies have been established worldwide. Many of these pharmacies
are similar to community pharmacies, and in fact, many of them are
actually operated by brick-and-mortar
community pharmacies that serve consumers online and those that walk in
their door. The primary difference is the method by which the
medications are requested and received. Some customers consider this to
be more convenient and private method rather than traveling to a
community drugstore where another customer might overhear about the
drugs that they take. Internet pharmacies (also known as online
pharmacies) are also recommended to some patients by their physicians if
they are homebound.
