A pharmacy is a specialized store where medicines, medical supplies, and health products are sold. In Azerbaijan, pharmacy chains are widespread, and people can purchase both prescription and over-the-counter medicines there. These chains also offer vitamins, hygiene products, and items for child care. Customers are sometimes provided with medical advice and information about the use of medicines. Pharmacies also sell medical equipment, as well as devices for measuring blood sugar and blood pressure. Chain pharmacies operate in many cities and regions across the country.
