In British English, the usual way of referring to a shop where medicines are sold or given out is chemist or chemist's. She went into a chemist's and bought some aspirin. Pharmacy is also used, but is not as common. In American English, the word drugstore is used, but this usually refers to a shop where you can buy drinks, snacks, and other small items, as well as medicines. At the drugstore I bought a can of Coke and the local papers.
